Remaining Time not on PWA 2007 timesheet

[anovak]

What gives? Remaining Time not visible in PWA 2007 timesheet. Set
it up as:

Actual work done and work remaining. Resources report the actual work
done and the work remaining to be done on each task.

Please comment.

Thanks,

Andy --

As you are now clearly seeing, the My Timesheet page and the My Tasks page
are two entirely different features in Project Server 2007. Organizations
use the My Timesheet page for tracking all types of time spent by a resource
on any type of work, including both project work and non-project work. The
default setup of the My Timesheet page requires the daily entry of time.
The method you select for tracking progress only impacts what users see on
the My Tasks page and does nothing to the My Timesheet page.

Let me ask you this, my friend: Do you actually need your resources to
track their time spent on any type of work, both project-releated and
non-project related? If not, you should disable the Timesheet functionality
and hide the Timesheet link in the Quick Launch menu. If so, you need to
teach everyone how to use the Timesheet functionality and then mandate its
use. Hope this helps.
