Timesheets - not able to enter data (2003)

[karen.yoas]

Under view my tasks while in PS2003, the dates show blank areas for
actual work. When I try to place in work for say 7/10, it doesn't take
the numbers. However I can fill in actual work on the task side (no
dates- just a single entry for the entire task).

How do I enter daily times?

Karen,

There are 3 time tracking methods allowed in Project Server 2003. It sounds
like the project you are working on is set to time tracking method 2 below:

1) Percent of work complete: Resources report the percent of work complete,
between 0 and 100%
2) Actual work done and work remaining: Resources report the actual work
done and the work remaining to be done on each task
3) Hours of work done per day or per week: Resources report the hours worked
on each task during each time period

I believe you are looking to enter time using option 3 per day. The time
reporting method is either controlled by the administrator at a global level
or the option can be given to the project manager to specify their own
tracking method for each of their projects through Tools>Customize>Published
Fields...

If the tracking options settings are grayed out in that location then the
administrator has disabled the ability for the PM to choose their own
tracking method.

Karen,

You need to change the setting under "Admin>Customize Project Web
Access>Tacking settings" to default to option 3. You also stipulate whether
PMs can change the tracking method on a project by project basis on this
page.

Then each project has to do a re-publish assignments for the changes to take
effect.
