changing time entry

[Marc Soester]

Hi,

In the past staff have entered their day by day into the time entry sheet.
Now we would like to change it, so that team members can enter their
"weekly" hours spent on a task instead of daily.

Under Administration > Customize Project Web Access, I did change the
"Resource should report their total hours worked for a week", but
unfortunatly it did not change my option within the timesheet. It still only
gives me daily and does not let me change it.

Any help would be appreachiated
Thanks

Marc:

1) Make sure that the tracking values are not locked down in Project Server
2) Change the tracking method in Project
3) After changing the tracking method you must republish all
4) Know that any task that already has had progress reported will not
change. You must complete in-progress tasks using the original tracking
method

Thanks Gary, I did change the settings according to your seps, and
republished the projects, I now have the ability to change the period in PWA
under the time entry sheet to weeks, but when I go to "resource" - "adjust
actuals" and want to enter time for a resource on a weekly basis, it still
doesnt let me change from days to weeks I did generate a new project and
tried it, but no luck.

Any suggestions why PS doesnt let me enter weekly data?
Thanks

If you generated a new project, then you shouldn't need the republish steps
in the last post. I'd have to recreate the scenario to give you more
guidance; something I won't have time to do until next weekend at least.
This is an not a typical change to make midstream. I'd certainly need
to know all of your settings.

Thanks for your fast reply and for offering your time to help Gary. Much
apprichiated

Before we get to "bugged" down with the settings though, I was hoping if you
could have a quick look to see if you have the same problem then I have.

I have now looked at 3 differnt VPC images and under "Resources" - "Adjust
Actuals" when choosing a resource and then going to "View Options" I NEVER
can change "days" into "weeks". The units are alwas disabled. This is accross
all of my installation

Can you do me a favour and see if you have the same problem? or can you
change the units from "days" into "weeks" from the adjust resources.

Many thanks for your help
