Actual Work in Project Center

[New Server Administrator]

When creating a custom view in Project Center I added a column that was for
Actual work. When I use this view it shows all zero's in that column. However
I created a view in Project and that does show the actuals. Does PWA not
allow the actuals to show in Project Center?

It depends on how the actual hours were entered into the project plan... It
sounds like your actuals were not entered via PWA... Are you in managed or
non-managed time periods?

The resources are entering their time in PWA. However I am in the process of
training all the resources so some Project Leads are entering the time in
Professional still. Once all time is entered in PWA will we be able to see it?

What does Managed or non-managed time periods refer to?

NSA --

Using Managed Time Periods allows the organization to "lock" past closed
time periods to prevent team members from changing actuals in the past time
periods, and prevents team members from entering actuals in future time
periods. The option only allows team members to enter actuals in current
open reporting periods. The use of non-managed time periods allows team
members to do either of the actions prohibited by Managed Time Periods.
Hope this helps.

So how will this effect Actuals showing up in the custom view in Project
Center?

There would be no difference. Hope this helps.
