How to fill a Timesheet in PWA 2007

Hello,

3 weeks ago I succeeded in filling a timesheet, but today I tried during 12h
w/o any succes.
Could you give me a step by step process to complete this awflul chore!
My Import Timesheet page doesn't display any task while I know there is at
least one task.
What a great improvement in this 2007 version!
Thanks for help!

Robert

Did you actually create the Timesheet? If not, click the link to create the
timesheet from the My Timesheets page. The system creates a new timesheet
for you and displays it on the My Timesheet page. Enter work on the Actual
Work line for the tasks you worked on. If this doesn't help, I'm afraid you
will need to details the steps you followed that ultimately did not work.
Hope this helps.

Good evening Dale,

What I did :
1- as a Team Member, I create a timesheet from the My Timesheets page
2 - I fill in this timesheet
3 - under the timesheet, i click the Save and Submit button
4 - I entered a comment in the dialog box
5 - I wait that the Timesheet Status shifts to Approved : system generate
automatic approval
6 - As the Assignment Owner, I create a new instance of IE7
7 - Go to My tasks (in the Assignment Owner page)
8 - Select the task and click the Import timesheet button in the tool bar :
nothing after that...

Step 6 : if I stay as Team Member (resource) and go to My Tasks, I can see
the Task update waiting for approval by the resource himself
I don't know what to try now...

Why are you creating a new instance of IE in step #6? That makes no sense
at all. Remain logged in as the team member, navigate to the My Tasks page
immediately, and then click the Import Timesheet button. The system should
immediately display the Import Timesheet page and allow you to select the
date period for the relevant timesheet. After you select a timesheet
period, the Import Timesheet page redisplays to show the updates for the
relevant tasks. Click the Import button to finish the process and then
submit your task updates as needed. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Dale,
Obviously I was wrong when I believed that timesheet update and tasks
updates were two processes executed at two different levels : the resource
and the project manager.
Thanks again for clarifying that

As always, you are more than welcome for the help. I'm sure you are not
alone in the assumptions you are making, some of which are incorrect, and
the questions you ask, which are all good ones. I suspect you speak for a
lot of new users of Project Server 2007! :)
