Timesheet Issues in PWA 2010

My company just upgraded from Project 2003 to Project 2010. In PWA 2003 timesheet view, we were able to see our summary tasks, as well as the Task IDs. I cannot find a way to display either in PWA 2010. I've read the above notes, and I have to believe that
there is some way to create a custom view or change the existing Timesheet View to allow the display of where each task is in the plan. I've tried creating a custom Timesheet View, using the "Timesheet" template, but that doesn't provide an option
to select either field (Summary task or Task ID).
Here's the deal: I have a project plan that has over 1,800 tasks, many of which repeat multiple times within each phase and across phases, and the resources are also repeating the work across the phases. This plan has up to NINE levels of tasks in various
places. So now, my resources see dozens of the same task name in their timesheet views with no context as to where each task falls in the plan.  The Task Hierarchy column is NOT a sufficient solution for my needs.
I would appreciate any and all help in figuring out how to display Summary Tasks and Task IDs in the Timesheet View.
Thanks and happy planning!

I totally agree with your finding as above you mentioned It's possible in PWA 2003 but when it comes to PWA 2010 it is not available. 
Many of my customer raised same issue for PWA 201o but unfortunately you can not see Summary task in the Timesheet view. Both you and your users have to live with this and accept the changes brought by MS.
The workaround of this problem is you can use group by first Project Name then "Task Hierarchy field".  
As far as custom view is concerned see the
link
I can also understand users raise voice and will not be happy to use it as they are habitual to use old functionality but many of the old features gets deprecated with the new version of several product.

  • PWA 2010 - Displaying summary task levels in the Timesheet

    LS
    We use 2 summary task levels for some projects and I am strugging to get the summary task info displayed in the timesheet (needed for clarity to distinguish between same tasks under different summary tasks).
    to display summary level one (of one) I use the task hierarchy field successully (if and only if I so the first project publish from the client - not from the browser).
    With 2 summary levels present in the project plan, I can't get the task hierarchy field to display anything - if it did display what should I expect it to show - task summary 1, or 2, or both?
    All help appreciated (what if i could just get those pesky PMs so simplify their GANTTS :) - working on that too...)

  • Resources Cannot See Timsheet Tasks in PWA 2010

    We have 4 resources who cannot see any tasks listed on their timesheets in PWA 2010.  For one resource this started a week ago, prior to that they could see the tasks.  For another resource the problem started today, earlier this week this person
    could see his tasks.  For another resource it happened 3-4 weeks ago.  Nothing that we are aware of has changed with the projects, their Resource Records or on their computers. 
    In addition to not being able to see anything on their timesheets in PWA, they cannot see any projects listed in Project Center.
    We are at a lose for what might be causing this.  Any ideas/suggestions?

    Hi Dennykat,
    Are those resources part of the "team member" security group? Ensure that their permissions have not been modified in any ways. They also might have been removed from the project team.
    When you go to the resource center, select the resources and view assignments, can you actually view their assignments?
    Then you could check:
    Are the resource their assignments owner (insert the "assignment owner" column in Project Pro)?
    Is the project correctly published with no error messages in the queue?
    Is the "publish" value to "YES" for all resources assignments?
    Are any filters applied in the PWA timesheet view of the users?
    When they click on "add row" then "from existing assignments", can they see their assignments?
    Try to open a delegation session for those users and check what you actually can see.
    Hope this helps.

  • Wrong risk creation date in PWA 2010

    Hey,
    We have a weird behavior in PWA 2010. The creation date of some risks in a project site is going crazy.
    Some risks are OK, but other have a creation date of 30/12/1899. I'm pretty sure PWA didn't exist at that time ;-)
    Would you know what could the cause and the solution of this problem?

    Indeed this could explain this behavior.
    Why is this formula by the way? The created field is usually populated automatically with the current date and do not need any formula.
    You'll have this behavior (strange date) if the formula doesn't return anything (in case the "created" value is empty). In this case, it will return a default value that is this odd date.
    I'd advice to review this field and make it equal to the current date and time, with no formula.
    Hoep this helps.

  • Print Issue in VS 2010 Crystal Report Version 13.0.1.220

    Hi Friends,
    I am new user for SAP crystal report,
    can any one help me for
    Print Issue in VS 2010 Crystal Report Version 13.0.1.220

    Font must be True Type and on the WEB server where the report is being processed.
    Run Process Monitor and see if your app is loading the Font....
    Typically if the characters show up as a box it means either the font you are using does not support UNICODE characters, it's not installed so font substition is done but the font used doesn't have the Glyph's required or there is a permission issue with the font being instlaled under a local User account and should be installed under the Admin account.
    Also, Search for Font and Windows Framework, there are known limitations with .NET Framework and some fonts.
    What font are you using?

  • Issue with Word 2010

    Hi Team,
    We are facing issue with Word 2010.
    User has created a document in Word 2007 and they inserted a symbol °C in Times New Roman and Areal.
    Please find below the text which has issue.
    干燥温度：60℃
    温度：95℃，
    In the document, instead of ℃ it is showing blocks, when we open it in MS Word  2010. (Eg: 60℃, 95℃).
     We have tried the following.
    1.       If we select the square and click on any other font, it will change to °C with formatted font Cambria Math. We can have it by selecting any font.
    2.       I have tried to copy the line and paste it to excel/WordPad/notepad
    •  Excel(2010) : It is displayed properly(°C) but the font was Times New Roman and Arial as the word document has Times New Roman and Arial respectively.
    •  Notepad: It is displayed properly(°C) but the font was Lucida Console
    •  WordPad: The symbol is not displayed correctly (Squares and vertical lines). It is having the same issue as we have with word document.
    3.       I just selected the whole text and had Ctrl+space , then all the corrupted characters turned to original one (°C with formatted font Cambria Math) : we can use this as a work around.
    4.       I have created a word document and I typed °C in that document with fonts Times New Roman ,Arial, SimSun and STKaiti and saved the document. When I opened the document I was able to see °C properly.
    Kindly help.
    Regards,
    Sooraj

    Hi Sooraj:
    For checking the encoding of your documents, please follow below steps:
    Rename your documents from xxxx.docx to xxxx.zip
    The zip folder will contains basically folders: rels, docProps, word and one [Content_Types].xml
    Browse to word, open document.xml file,
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>,
    the first line will suggest the encoding type of the document.
    Except checking the encoding difference, could you please do one more thing that is copying the font like
    “Times New Roman” from a computer which display the symbol correctly to the computer which has issue, and please let me know the results, thank you.

  • OS 7 Compatibility Issues with Sharepoint 2010

  • PWA issues after Office 2010 SP2 upgrade

    We recently upgraded some client machines that have Project 2010 Professional installed to Project SP2.  Several of these users also use PWA. 
    After the upgrade, I heard from a few of these users that in PWA, the Workflow Approval buttons were unavailable, and that they were unable to export to Excel.  I checked with another user who uses the same Project Server and did
    not receive the update, and he had the same issue.
    I did find kb2817580 that describes these exact issues, but the timing is suspicious with the client SP2 upgrade.  Is there something in the Project 2010 SP2 update that would cause this problem on Project Server, or does Server need to be upgraded
    concurrently with the client update?  I was not under the impression that the local Project update would affect Project Server.  Is that incorrect?

    Cwoodin, in my experience, the client doesn't make any modifications at the server.
    About the updates, i would recommend you to apply SP2 at the server as well. Besides that, take a look at the ULS logs to see if it spits any errors.

  • PWA 2010 - unsubmitted timesheets link on PWA Home Page

    Not sure if this is a bug, or if there is some thought to the design that I'm not seeing: The "unsubmitted timesheet" link on the PWA Home Page (You are the timesheet manager for resources with XX unsubmitted timesheets in periods ending prior to MM/DD/YYYY)
    take you to the Approvals page.. I would expect it to take you to the Timesheet Adjustment page instead.
    Is there a reason for this that I'm not seeing? Or is this a mistake/bug?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply, Paul!
    I don't get the design. What's the thinking here? If you're clicking on a link that says "unsubmitted timesheets", why would you expect to be taken anywhere but to see the unsubmitted timesheets? It seems like the Approvals page, where you're going to see
    timesheets which HAVE been submitted, is pretty much the last place you'd want to go.
    Am I missing something?

    By the Way, we having a MS Network Load Balancing configured by the 2 Project Server. Did You have any negative Experience in this

    Thank a lot!

  • PWA 2010 timesheet: 2 different colors for the rows "Actual " and "Planned

    Hello,
    To make timesheet easier to read and fill, is it possible to have 2 different colors for the rows “Actual “ and “Planned”?
    Thanks,
    soudha

    Hello Soudha,
    By default the timesheet grid shows the cells in white color. But if you have little coding skills or a developer at your end, you can try this using "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\JsGrid.js" java
    script file.
    You may have to modify it but I recommend to take a backup of the file and test in your test environment first.
    Happy troubleshooting.....

  • Administrative task don't show up in timesheet in Pwa 2010

    One of the user project manager is not able to see Administrative task in his timesheet.We deleted and recreated the timesheet still it doesnt show up.

    Might it be possible that he intentionally or by mistake deleted the administrative tasks for those 2 periods? I've just tested that it is possible to remove administrative tasks using the "remove task" feature.
    Try to add the administrative task using "add row" then select "add a non-project activity" (approximative translation from french). You'll be able to add the removed admin tasks for the 2 periods, save the 2 timesheets and see if it
    keeps it.
    Then:
    Hope this helps.
