PWA help with Progress Column?

[Jay]

Create a project and set "Hours of work done per period" under Collaboration
Options in the Project client.

Asign a task to yesrself

Report on the task

Go into PWA open the task

Click on Progress

You shouls see three areas to report, Work, Actual Work and Overtime.

How do you remove OVERTIME? We don’t use it, and it just adds confusion.

The Overtime option pops up when you click in the Progress column of any
task. Our current setup to track actual hours worked, a one-week grid pops
up when you click on the Progress column of a task right now that allows you
to enter hour amounts per day of that week. You can change weeks at the top.
It’s got a Work row which is the scheduled work for that day. Below that
there’s an Actual Work row where people enter the actual amount of time they
spent on that task for the day. Below that is an Overtime row that we never
make any use of. It’s writeable, but it’s confusing to everyone who enters
their time.

How do I remove it?

In the floating timesheet grid, displayed by clicking in the Progress column
on the My Tasks page, there is no way to hide the Overtime row. Instead, a
better way to use the My Tasks page is to ask your Project Server
administrator to insert the timesheet grid directly within the My Tasks
page, replacing the Progress column completely. To do this, ask your
Project Server administrator to refer to the following FAQ:

After he/she inserts the timesheet grid in place of the Progerss column,
users will only enter Actual Work in the grid, solving your problem
completely. Hope this helps.

Thank You Very Much Dale.
