Project Web App Reporting and PWA I had all sorts of trouble trying to get the Project Web App standard reporting (ie Excel sheets supplied OOTB that use an Odata connection to extract data from PWA) working. I tried a lot of things including enabling the Project Web App Permission for Excel Web App Refresh site collection feature on the PWA […] Written by luke December 12, 2021December 13, 2021 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Project Web App More on PWA I am really getting into how Project Web App (PWA) could be the central place that we could run projects and keep a track of the many antics of the team. Here is some more that I have learned. Please note that this information relates to the Project Online version of PWA.

It’s bigger on the inside… Building a customer portal can be tricky. In the heat of the dot com bubble, I was a consultant working on the telstra.com team – Telstra’s first shot at a one-stop-shop for customers. I was working for Accenture at the time as a Manager in the UAT team. It was a goliath of a project, […] Written by Olivia Morgan February 13, 2023February 13, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Low Cost eLearning 📝 Learning in my uni years was fun and not because of the lecturers or the material, but more so of the antics we got up to. Engineers with too much idle time and all that. In an auditorium full of people, a group from up the back launched a massive paper plane (I reckon 5ft […] Written by Olivia Morgan February 1, 2023February 1, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

The Future is Calling ☎️ Do you remember the grungy dens that were public payphones? Before the days of mobile phones, I’d have to push my way past McDonalds wrappers so I could call Mum to let her know I was going to be late for dinner. My uni friends talked of all sorts of scams to get free phone […] Written by Olivia Morgan January 15, 2023January 15, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Office 365 backup and archive have landed In the beginning, there were no backup solutions for Office 365. I mean, there were some limited recovery options. Microsoft now has a retention and recovery function that is good for up to 30 days for Exchange Online. SharePoint fairs a little better with a 93-day retention period after deletion (exc hard deletes), and the […] Written by Olivia Morgan February 8, 2024February 8, 2024 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Simplify IT security with zero trust 🚫 My first job out of uni was as an Electronic Systems Engineer in the RAAF designing solid state replacements for SURAD, the ATC radar of the day.

Securing IT Systems in Freefall ✈️ Stalling an aircraft, intentionally, was never fun – but necessary to feel the effects of when you lose control. The procedure was to 1) ascend to 4000ft AGL over farmland, 2) jam the throttle control in to idle, 3) as airspeed decreases, keep pulling the stick back to raise the nose and maintain altitude, 4) […] Written by Olivia Morgan June 5, 2023June 5, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Mid last year ACMA brought in regulation to make it mandatory for telcos to use a second factor in verifying a customer attempting to perform a high risk transaction (for example, adding an account holder). Many telcos adopted this second […] Written by Olivia Morgan May 8, 2023May 8, 2023 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
