Time Card Functionality

[Nathan J]

Hi

I am in the process of implementing Project 2003 Server and I am stumbling in the way so many seem to be. I need to provide a time card functionality based on actual hours worked by resource for a specific time period. Is there a simple way to achieve this

Thanks in advance
Nathan

I believe that Project Web Access will provide the timecard functionality
that you seek. Before you begin using PWA, however, your company will need
to determine the standard method for tracking project progress. Once this
decision has been made, you will need to set this method in PWA by clicking
the Admin menu, clicking Customize Microsoft Project Web Access, and then
choosing the desired options. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response Dale

The default tracking method for project progress is actual work Done and work remaining. The time card functionality (entering time) works fine.

I need to be able to print a report for time entered by a resource for a given time period across multiple projects. Is there a way to do this with out queerying the Db?

At the moment, my work work around is to have them enter and submit their hours for the time period (month). Let the hours sit unaccepted. Then at the end of the time period I export the table to Excel and create my "time card". Then I accept the hours

Again, your advice is appreciated
Nathan

As you have suspected, there is no simple default method for printing the
Actual Work someone has submitted for a specific time period across multiple
projects. The closest that you can come to this is to create a temporary
master project in Microsoft Project, consisting of all of the projects on
which you want to report, and then to apply the Who Does What When report
with Actual Work instead of Work. But I doubt seriously that will meet your
reporting needs.

Manually exporting the table to Excel sounds like an easier solution, and it
would be EVEN easier of you are using Project Server 2003, which has grid
exporting capabilities built into the system. Good luck!
