Tasks not being updated on Project Server

G

Glen

I am using MS Project Professional to create projects and
tasks. I publish these projects out to my MS Project
Server 2002 but for some reason I can not go in and edit
them, in the time sheet view. My account is listed as an
administrator but when I got to the tasks view I can not
put anything in for the time sheet, it's all grayed out.
I can see all the projects and tasks but I can't put my
time in.

Also, if I make an edit in MS Project Professional and
then I publish it, let's say I delete a task, when I go
into the server I still see that task but it has a
black "X" next to it. How can I get it so that the
deleted tasks do not show up on Project Server.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

In your first question, it sounds like you want to use the timesheet as your
default method of tracking progress. If this is the case, then you will
need to do the following:

1. Log into PWA with Administrator permissions
2. Click the Admin menu
3. Click the Customize Microsoft Project Web Access link
4. In the first section of the Tracking Settings page, select the third
choice "Hours of work done per day or per week"
5. In the Lock Down Defaults section, select the "Force project managers to
use..." option
6. In the Time Period Settings section, select "Resources should report
their hours worked every day"
7. Make any other settings according to your company's tracking methodology
8. Click the Save settings button

Now you will need to "push" these tracking settings changes out to each team
member's timesheet. To do this, each of your project managers will need to
complete the following steps:

1. Open Microsoft Project 2002 and log into Project Server
2. Open as many projects as have been published to Project Server
3. In each project, click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments and
then click OK

To answer your second question, deleted tasks are not removed automatically
from a team member's timesheet. Instead, they must click the deleted task
and then click the Hide button. Hope these answers help.

Try this:

1. Open one of the affected projects
2. Click Tools - Customize - Published Fields
3. Make sure the "Use the default method..." option is selected at the top
of the dialog box (if not, then select it)
4. Click OK
5. Make sure that you only use the Collaborate - Publish - Republish
Assignments method to republish the project (Collaborate - Publish - All
Information will not "push" the new tracking settings out to each user's
timesheet)

Let me know if this additional info helps.
