Project Online For Mac

Posted by: 

Like Project, SharePoint Designer doesn’t have a Mac version – so this could be another scenario where the virtual environment on the Mac is useful for the SharePoint and Project Online user who prefers to keep with their Mac. Again, no problems running SharePoint Designer under the virtual environment. So, to sum up: We support Safari for PWA.

Modern project management software is collaborative and accessible on the web from any device. It's easy for anyone to use, yet powerful. TeamGantt's intuitive online project management software is the perfect Microsoft Project alternative. Project Viewer 365 for Mac allows project team members to open MS Project MPP Plans from cloud locations like Google Drive. Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Box, Basecamp, URL Links and email attachments. Project Viewer 365 for Mac is compatible with Microsoft Project (MPP file format) 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003 and earlier versions. Project Plan 365 for Mac works on all Apple devices running macOS or iOS. To complement your workflow on your Mac, Project Plan 365 for iOS allows you to take your work outside the office, and right to the job site. Create new Gantt charts and modify existing project schedules in the same intuitive way as with MS Project.Dan Stopher on March 8, 2019

There have been many times I’ve been asked about what Project Online license was required for a particular function and struggled to provide a solid answer based on the information available on Microsoft Project Online licenses comparison table here.

At a high level, the information on the comparison table is useful. But when faced with specific questions like, “What licence do I need if all I want to do is respond as a Resource Manager to an engagement request?”, this proven to be difficult to answer.

Microsoft has now released a much more granular table that lists out features available to users in detail and simply shows which licenses will support it. This means working out what license is required for a particular Feature is a breeze. See the feature availability table from Microsoft here.

To start with, we have a summary table that will answer 90% of your questions:

Includes the most current version of the Project desktop application, instantly streamed to your Windows PC. 

Each subscription license allows for up to five concurrent installations of the Project desktop application. Project managersProject Online PremiumAll of the Project Online Professional functionality, plus: 

Portfolio selection and optimization 

Demand management 

Enterprise resource management 

Out-of-box portfolio reports Portfolio and resource managersNotes:Project Online Essentials, Project Online Professional, and Project Online Premium are also offered as part of Office 365, operated by 21Vianet, a version of Office 365 that is specific to China.

To collaborate on a project site – unfortunately, a SharePoint licence doesn’t quite cut it. At a minimum, Project Online Essentials is required. Project Online licensing for external users follows the same policy as that for internal users. Any interaction on a Project Online site requires a Project Online license.

The other interesting thing is that the title of the page is Project Online Service Description.

Microsoft has assured us that the New Project Service will be available with existing Project Online licenses and the heading makes me speculate that this page has been put together with the “to be” state in mind. We will have to wait and see for that one but in the meantime, I hope you find the links as helpful as I did.Ms Project Online For Mac-->OverviewProject Online is web-based, and is great for: Managing multiple projects.  Tracking work on timesheets.  Balancing broad resource needs. (If you're looking for a hosted version of Project Server, this is it!)

To be clear, Project Online is NOT a web-based version of Project Professional. Project Online is an entirely separate service that offers full portfolio and project management tools on the web. It includes Project Web App, and can, depending on your subscription, also include Project Online Desktop Client, which is a subscription version of Project Professional.Got the wrong thing?

If you need to cancel and subscribe to something else, choose Billing > Subscriptions in the Microsoft 365 admin center, choose the subscription you want to cancel, and then click Cancel subscription in the pane on the right. Then, you can find the right product to subscribe to and add that to your existing Office 365 account.Need help?Ms Project For Mac
