Update progress from My Tasks

[Perl]

Hello,

We have Project Server 2007.
I want to update progress everyday from My tasks view but to see timephased
view at the first screen
and not by drill down each task.

Any idea ?

If you have applied Service Pack 1 (SP1) to Project Server 2007, your
Project Server administrator can do the following to show a timsheet grid on
the My Tasks page:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions.
2. Navigate to the My Tasks page.
3. Click the Site Actions menu (upper right corner) and then click Edit
page.
4. In the My Tasks web part, click the Edit menu and then click the Modify
Shared Web Part menu item.
5. In the My Tasks sidepane on the right, scrolldown and expand the Project
Web Access section.
6. In the Project Web Access section, select the "Hours per day" option.
7. Set the Work format to Hours and then click the OK button.
8. Click the Exit Edit Mode button (upper right corner of the page).

The preceding steps will remove the Progress column and replace it with a
timesheet grid. Hope this helps.

Hi Pearl,

Just so you know, there is a bug in the logic for the Show Hours Per
Day portion of the My Tasks web-part. Once this is turned on the
current period (work-week) doesn't calculate properly. The incorrect
logic for the webpart will only displays 3 days before and 3 days
after whatever the current date is. So you can never get the entire
work-week to display correctly in this view except for one day
depending on when your work-week starts in Project Server.

This is so very confusing to end-users and has caused a number of
clients to experience users duplicating their time entries or
recording time against tasks on the wrong day. I have subsequently
shot this functionality off at two clients that had requested it until
a hot-fix is released to fix the issue.

Regards,

Scot

This functionality isn't a bug, by the way. According to Microsoft, this
functionality is by design because it keeps the current day of the week
centered in the middle of the timesheet grid. Because this is tripping up
users, however, Microsoft will modify the default behavior of the timesheet
grid in a future Service Pack or hotfix to lock the first day of the
timesheet on the first day of the reporting period. Hope this helps.
