Problem with administrative task names in Timesheet view

[Flemming Goldbach]

We are setting up Project Server 2007 as both EPM solution and timesheet
registration system.

We have created a couple of administrative time categories (Sick, Vacation,
Internal Training, Administration etc.) and chosen "Always Display" as we do
not want to require that all administrative tasks should be planned ahead,
but allow them to be filled in as part of the weekly submitted timesheet.

However when the Administrative time categories all appear with
"Auto-generated" as "Task name/Description" on the My Timesheet view, so it
is impossible for users to distinguish between the different time categories
when registering time.

Anyone who have a workaround for this problem, that doesn't require users to
Plan all administrative time in advance?
We cannot - as far as I can see - change the Timesheet view to get another
field which will display the Administrative time category.

We are running Project Server 2007 sp1 with the Infrastructure updated
installed.

Flemming Goldbach --

The category names (Sick, Vacation, etc.) are displayed in the Billing
Category column. That column displays by default in the My Timesheet view.
Hope this helps.
