Error or Warning Message

Last Error [56037] Error creating a new view.  View with the same name already exists.

Explanation

User is getting an error when creating a new personal view.
It seems to work but once they refresh, the view is not shown in the view pull down. User tries again to create the same view with the same name and gets the error. It appears the view is created but they aren't showing.

The 56037 error message you are getting is indicating there is already a view with the same name. I think the real problem here is that your views are disappearing. The disappearing view may be attributed to Project folders.

How to Avoid

Step 1 Add the view to the resources of the Project Folder

1. If you are in a project folder and the view you just created is not part of the ‘resources’ for that project, then you will not see your view in the pull down. 

2. Right click on the parent project folder and choose properties, then resources, If you are have the correct permissions and user settings you can then add your view to the resources.

Step 2 Settings and permissions

1. If there are permissions set on the project folder, the User must be a 'team participant' and have the "project Team member" role to change resources.  Right click the Project Folder, properties, Participants, and make sure the role for the group or user is set to "Project Team Member" or higher.

2. A user has to have the proper user setting turned on in order to change project settings

   In Projectwise Administrator, Right click the user name, go to properties, settings tab, all the way at the bottom is Project Permissions.  To be able to add views to a project resource, user needs the “allow user to change project types and project properties.
