View unsubmitted progress on tasks

[Nielsen.Mads]

How do PM's see that there are unsubmitted progress on tasks in a
given week?

We are not using the Timesheet function, only MyTasks

/Mads

After accepting the updates into their plans from the individual resource
updates from My Tasks. The PM can then look to see where there is
incomplete work in the past. This can be done using a formula.

IIf([Status Date]>55000,0,IIf([Finish]<=[Status Date] And [Actual
Finish]>55000,0,IIf([Actual Finish]=[Finish],1,IIf([Resume]<[Status
Date],0,IIf([Start]<[Status Date] And ([Resume]>55000 Or [Resume]<[Status
Date]),0,1)))))

Thir relies on the PM setting the appropriate status date. This will mark
any task that has incomplete work before the status date with a value of 0
and will mark all other task as 1.

Are you are asking: how can PM's see time that is saved by resources
but not yet submitted for a given project?

If so, two answers:
1. Microsoft didn't intend for the PM to be able to see this. There
isn't a way built into the system.
2. Everything is in the database somewhere, so you'll need to look
into custom reports.
- For Project Server 2003, look at the MSP_WEB_WORK table.
- For Project Server 2007, this is quite a bit more difficult, as the
saved updates are stored in binary.

We have written reports for this, but it is not a trivial effort.
