Project and "My Tasks" issue

A

Aroh Shukla

Hi all,

I have created a new project (Project Professional 2007) and resources are:
1) John
2) Alex
3) Smith

Then I have published the project server 2007 and I can see Project Name in
"Project Center".
But when any of my resources (John, Alex, Smith) view their PWA site, they
can see the timesheet but TASKS are NOT DISPLAYED.

Have I done something wrong?
Please guide me.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Aroh Shukla

Hi Aroh,
I would check the following in order. If any are incorrect, fix and then
republish.

Are the resources that you added to the project Enterprise resources - use
CTRL-T to add enterprise resources. Make sure that the booking type for each
resource is set to committed and not proposed.
Are you looking at My Tasks or the timesheet. If it's my tasks, then make
sure you have unchecked the "view current taks only". If you are looking at
the timehseet, and it is blank, then you'll need to import the tasks.
Finally, check that the published field for each task is set to Yes in
Project Pro.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply.
I followed these steps:

1) Are the resources that you added to the project Enterprise resources
EXACTLY DID THE SAME THING. In "Project Proffesional" Tools >> "Build
Team for Enterprise" and then selected the my resources.

2) Make sure that the booking type for each resource is set to committed
and not proposed.
CHECKED AND WAS PERFECT

3) Are you looking at My Tasks or the timesheet.
MY RESOURCES CAN ACCESS TIMESHEET (My Work >> TimeSheet >> New >> Create
from Project >> Project is shown up automatically).
THE ISSUE IS WITH MY TASKS. They CANT VIEW TASKS.

4) Unchecked "view current taks only".
DID IT. Not nothing happend.

Ben, in our development enviorment it worked perfectly but after adding 2-3
more projects tasks dint shown up. So we re-installed Project Server 2007 and
issue was solved.

Unfortunately, we can do the same thing in prodcution enviorment.
Is it a bug or i am following a wrong process?

Thanks a lot of your time.

Aroh --

Thanks for your clear and consise answer to my cousin Ben's questions. In
reading your answers, it is apparent that your team members screwed up when
they created their Timesheets. To resolve this problem, they need to go to
the My Timesheets page in PWA and then click the name of the Timesheet they
created for the current period. This will reopen the Timesheet for editing.
Once opened, then they need to click the Actions menu and click the Delete
Timesheet item on the menu and click the OK button when prompted. This will
delete the Timesheet so that they can recreate it correctly.

On the My Timesheets page, they need to simply click the "Click to create"
link for the current period. This will create the Timesheet populated with
tasks. Alternatively, they can click the "Click to create" pick list and
choose the "Create with tasks" item on the menu. They screwed up when they
clicked the "Create with Projects" option, since this option populates the
Timesheet only with the names of their projects, but not with tasks. Hope
this helps.

Hi Dale,Ben,Reza

Thanks a lot of for your inputs.
But I tried the same steps I followed and tasks were not created.

Let me explain how I created the projects:

1. Creating a project in “Project Server 2007†(Logged in as
“ADMINISTRATORâ€).
a. Server Settings >> Timesheet Periods >> Timesheet Label: March Timesheet
, Start Date: 1st March , 2009, End date: 31st March, 2009
b. In Project Professional 2007, navigated to Tools >> Build team for
Enterprise
c. Chose Aroh, Alex as resources
d. Filled on the tasks (for e.g. Requirements Analysis, Installing &
configuring in DEV, Installing & configuring in PROD etc. )(Start and end
of this project is 1st March – 31st March 2009)
e. Save and published. (Project Name: Installing & configuring Project
Server 2007)

2. Logged off and logged in as “Arohâ€
3. In PWA home,
a. In PWA home, no tasks are created. (in Prod, but in Dev tasks
were created)
b. My Timesheets >> Click to Create >> Create with projects
c. Project name was populated (Installing & configuring Project
Server 2007) and its TOP LEVEL.
d. I also deleted the timesheet as you suggested and “Click to
Create†>> “Create with tasksâ€
e. Individual tasks were created like Requirements Analysis,
Installing & configuring in DEV etc. But under “My tasks†no task were
populated.
4. Same thing happened with “Alexâ€

I really don’t want know, what’s going on as in DEV environment tasks were
created automatically not in PROD environment.

Dale,Ben,Reza ….. please advice ..

Thank you

After lot of permutation and combinations, I found a way to solve this. These
are steps I followed:

1. Deleted all resources, projects and timesheet period.
2. Created a Timesheet period.
3. Created all resources. (Like Aroh, Alex etc.)
4. Created a project (ADMINISTRATOR account) with Aroh, and Alex as
resources. Saved and Published onto Project Server 2007.
5. Logged in as “aroh†and found all the tasks automatically created.

Thanks a lot Dale, Ben and Reza for your help ….
Cheers,
Aroh Shukla
