Assignment Details View Not Showing Timephased daily hours entry v

[kahuna]

Looking for an answer to this. Tasks on couple of the projects on My Tasks
list allows me to go into the Assignment Details page and see the Timephased
work, including a weekly by day view that I can use to update hours.

For a new project, the Assignment Details page is showing only Total Work,
Completed Work, and Start, Finish and REmaining Work. The daily view of work,
actual work and overtime fields are not there. Please advise.

Hi kahuna,
Sounds to me like this project where you want to update the task has a
different progress method. Project Server allows you to track your tasks in
3 different ways:
- Percent work completed
- Actual Work done and work remaining
- hours of work done per period.

I would think that this project has "Actual work done and work remaining" as
their tracking method. If you open the project in proejct professional and
go to Collaborate > Collaboration Options you will find under the
collaboration tab the different options of tracking. This option will
determine how you can track your tasks.
I hope that helps

Marc, thanks ever so much. Just a quick note. Project pro settings was tied
down by what was set on the server, so had it changed on the server under
Task Settings and Display and voila we had it back on. Thanks.

that's good to hear.
Yes you can force a tracking method in MS Project.
