Folks ...
I know there is a timesheet in Project 2007 - for reasons I won't elaborate
on here, we have decided not to use this functionality inside of our
organization.
To that end - we are running Project Server 2007 w/SP1 and Project 2007 on
the desktop. Outside of the standard projects that we track within the
company, each manager has created a project file where team members can apply
time against production issues.
What we have attempted to do is the following:
Create a task of [Production Issues - Web Development]
Task Information - General Tab
Start Date of [3/31/2008]
End Date of [12/31/2008]
Task Information - Advanced Tab
Task Type of [Fixed Duration]
Deselect [Effort Driven]
Task Information - Resource Tab
Resource Name of [Enterprise Resource]
Units of [0%]
I want to add them at 0% because I do not want this task to count against
the resources calculated project time for availability (over/under
allocation) purposes.
I then [Collaborate] and [Publish] the project file.
Everything seems fine at this point. Project displays the tasks the way
that I would expect, the tasks have been assigned to the resource and show up
in the [Tasks] tab for the resource.
The resource then begins to update time through the tasks tab and selects to
[Update] information back to the project. As Project Manager, I accept the
updates and this is where things go off track.
Suddenly, project changes the allocation on the project tasks within the
Project File. I don't want this to happen, I want the % allocation to remain
at 0, but I want to see the actual hours that people are applying to these
tasks.
Any help on figuring this out would be greatly appreciated ...
