PWA Timesheet - Mark week-end days or disable them

B

Botond BAIKA

Hi!

If I use the MS Project client, on any project's any task, I can enter
Actual Work only on work-days. But not on non-working days, like week-end
days for example.

In PWA (Project Web Access), we not have this functionality, but all our
users are screaming for it.
How can I configure PWA to have this functionality (so users can not enter
by any mistake working hours on non working days)?
Or at least, how can I configure PWA to have different colouring for
week-end days?

Thanks, in advance!

Hi Botond,
From my understanding the days wich are marked on the calendar as non-
Click to expand...
working days apear in light gray on timesheets.

Can you please check which calendar are you using and if it has
weekends defined as non-working days?

To check project calendar go to : Project Information -> Calendar

To change working preiods:
Tools -> Change Working Time..

Hope it helps,

Carla


Thanks

Hi Carla,

Nope, it did not help.
We know how to set the non-working days. And they are set right. And they
are functioning as expected, but onyl in Project Professional.
But when we are expecting the same functioning in Project Web Access (PWA).
And this is the problem. In PWA, all the days are the same

And to answer your question: the calendar we use is "Standard" and they are
defined the working and non-working days.

Botond:

It would be very helpful to know which version you are using. Bottom line is
that you are incorrect in stating that you can't enter weekend work in
Project Pro. It may look that way, but in either the Resource Usage or the
Task Usage view, you can certainly enter actual work values on non-working
days. The same holds true for PWA. If you are using 2003, the problem is
that weekends are not obviously shaded to identify them, so people fall
victim to entering work on Sunday instead of Monday. One way to avoid this
is to set Monday as the start of the week. Otherwise, it's a training and
performance issue. People do work on weekends!

Hi Gary!

My mistake! Sorry for the incomplete and incorrect information!
We are using Project Server 2003. And in Project Pro we can enter actual
work values on non-working days.
As you correctly guessed, the real problem is that in PWA the weekends (or
other non-working days) are not obviously shaded to identify them.
What we would like to achive is to shade these days in PWA, too, so the
users could easily identify them.
How can we achieve this?

One workaround to this issue is to ask your Project Server administrator to
do the following:

1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions.
2. Click Admin - Customize Project Web Access
3. In the Time Period Settings section, set the "Number of weeks spanned"
value to 1 week
4. Click the Save Changes button

The effect of this change will be that the timesheet grid in the View My
Tasks page will now show the day of the week plus the date. This way, your
team members can easily distinguish weekends from weekdays. Hope this
helps.
