Autogenerated by Outlook add-in Timesheet is missing AdministrativeTime categories

Our default TIMESHEETs in PWA 2007 all carry the various
administrative time categories, however if a timesheet for a given
week has not been created by a resource and that person submits a task
update, a timesheet is autogenerated and apparently is not using the
same template as a timesheet that is created via the PWA. This
autognerated timesheet does not have the various administrative time
categories, and thus creates a problem for us in terms of
standardizing time reporting. Is there some way to disable the
feature, or customize so that the autogenerate process is using the
same timesheet template?

One of my users did "something" to make all his future timesheets now read
'autogenerated by Outlook add-in'. Did you find that your user did the same
by submitting a task update from Outlook to PWA for a week where timesheet
name was 'Click to Create'?

Yes. Where a user has not created a timesheet via the PWA for a given
time period (our time reporting periods are weekly) (in other words in
the column TIMESHEET NAME, the cell contains the text Click to create
for a given week), and the user subsequently submits a task update via
the Outlook add-in, the Timesheet is created with a TIMESHEET NAME of
Autogenerated by Outlook add-in, and only the time related to the task
update will appear as the only row in the timesheet, until such time
as the user submits additional updates. My question is that it appears
that there is no mechanisim to add the Administrative time categories
to the timesheet, unless the user uses the Plan Administrative time
function. In our standard timesheet, where the user actually creates
the timesheet via the Click to create function, all of the available
administrative time categories are reflected in the timesheet created.

Perhaps I didn't fully understand what you were asking, but I think
what you may be asking is if all of the user's future timesheets had
the same Autogenerate.... name. My answer to that question is no, only
the current week's timesheet had that name with the administrative
time categories missing.
