On the "Customize Project Web Access", "Tracking Settings"
screen, we currently have our Time period settings set at:
Non Managed Periods - Allow Project and Project Web Access users to
update actuals
It appears that this setting allows hours to accumulate in Actual Hours
Protected from sources other than PWA timesheet entry/approval (for
example, completed project tasks with remaining hours). We would like
to change the setting to:
Managed Periods - Allow only Project Web Access users to update
actuals during open periods
However, when we choose the entry, we are required to choose Managed
timesheet periods with start/finish dates and status. We need to know:
1. What start/finish dates to choose for the time period?
2. If we will need to constantly update the setting (or if it rolls by
itself)?
3. If we choose the Managed option, will only approved hours from the
PWA timesheets in Actual Hours Protected (which is what we think we
want)?
4. What will happen to hours and projects already in the system, is
there a way to make the change retroactive?
5. Will we be shooting ourselves in the foot if we change the setting?
6. If we change the setting and things go haywire, can we change it
back without damage?
