Reminders Web Part

In Microsoft Office Project 2007, the default Microsoft Office Project Web Access Home page includes the Reminders section. Reminders can show newly updated task information, timesheets due, pending approvals, status reports, assigned issues, and assigned risks.

In addition to these reminders being posted on the Office Project Web Access Home page, the Reminders information is also a Web Part that you can add to a custom Web Part Page. With this Web Part, you can review and act on reminders from other locations both within Project Web Access as well as beyond.

Common properties of Web Parts

All Web Parts share a common set of properties that control their appearance, layout, and advanced characteristics.

Note: The common Web Part properties that you see in the tool pane may be different from what is documented in this section for several reasons:

• To see the Advanced section in the tool pane, you must have appropriate permission.

• For a specific Web Part, a Web Part developer may have chosen not to display one or more of these common properties or may have chosen to create and display additional properties that are not listed below in the Appearance, Layout, and Advanced sections of the tool pane.

• Some permission and property settings may disable or hide Web Part properties.

Appearance

Property	Description
Title	Specifies the title of the Web Part that appears in the Web Part title bar.
Height	Specifies the height of the Web Part.
Width	Specifies the width of the Web Part.
Chrome State	Specifies whether the entire Web Part appears on the page when a user opens the Web Part Page. By default, the chrome state is set to Normal and the entire Web Part appears. Only the title bar appears when the state is set to Minimized.
Chrome Type	Specifies whether the title bar and border of the Web Part frame are displayed.

Layout

Property	Description
Hidden	Specifies whether the Web Part is visible when a user opens the Web Part Page. If the check box is cleared, the Web Part is visible only when you are designing the page and has the suffix (Hidden) appended to the title. You can hide a Web Part if you want to use it to provide data to another Web Part through a Web Part connection, but you don't want to display the Web Part.
Direction	Specifies the direction of the text in the Web Part content. For example, Arabic is a right-to-left language; English and most other European languages are left-to-right languages.
Zone	Specifies the zone on the Web Part Page where the Web Part is located. Note: Zones on the Web Part Page are not listed in the list box when you do not have permission to modify the zone.
Zone Index	Specifies the position of the Web Part in a zone when the zone contains more than one Web Part. To specify the order, type a positive integer in the text box. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from top to bottom, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears at the top of the zone. If the Web Parts in the zone are ordered from left to right, a value of 1 means that the Web Part appears on the left of the zone. For example, when you add a Web Part to an empty zone that is ordered from top to bottom, the Zone Index is 1. When you add a second Web Part to the bottom of the zone, its Zone Index is 2. To move the second Web Part to the top of the zone, type 1, and then type 2 for the first Web Part. Note: Each Web Part in the zone must have a unique Zone Index value. Therefore, changing the Zone Index value for the current Web Part can also change the Zone Index value for other Web Parts in the zone.
