can't enter actual work in PWA timesheet

[pepe]

Hi,

I have set-up my very first project plan. I created the tasks, assigned the
tasks to three developers including myself (the three of us are "team
members"). I published the project plan to project server.

When I open project web access I'm able to only see the tasks that I have
assigned to myself, which is ok, my problem is that we (myself and the other
two developers) are not able to enter the number of hours we have worked on a
task in the "Actual work" column, because for some reason it is disabled. For
some reason the only columns that are enable are the "% Work complete" and
the "Remaining work".

In the admin options of project web access (customize project web access), I
have set up the following options:
1. reporting progress as "hours of work done per day or per week..."
2. lock down defaults as " force project managers to use the progress..."
3. time period settings as "non managed periods - allow project and pwa
users to update actuals"
4. "resources should report their hours worked every day"

How can I make so that the "Actual work" column is enabled in the tiumesheet
view. I've been playing with the admin options for awhile but I'm not able to
figure it out.

Thanks.

Pepe --

You selected the wrong method of tracking to use the Actual Work column.
The method of tracking you selected activates the Actual Work cells in the
timesheet portion of the View My Tasks page. Change your method of tracking
to Actual Work Done and Work Remaining. Then you will need to open your
project and click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments and click OK
to "push" the new method of tracking to each user's View My Tasks page in
PWA. Also, given your newness to the Project Server system, refer to the
following FAQ for information about documentation, books, and training:

Hope this helps.
