Timesheets and outlook plugin

K

Karl

I'm testing out an install of Project Server 2007 for work. We're interested
in having all our staff use the Outlook plugin to submit their timesheets.
However, I can't seem to get it to work intuitively.

The most significant problem is:
If i have a single task for 7.5 hours on Friday 22th, but submit 7.5 hours
for the 21st and the 22nd, the manager only seems the 7.5 hours for the 22th.
It's as though only "planned work" is being reported. I messed around with
"My Timesheet" in PWA and "Imported a Timesheet", and that finally got the
entry from the 21st to show up, but I'm not quite sure what I did, and I'd
definetly not want the staff to have to do this.

Another smaller problems is:
The "Save to Project Web Access" button within a task seems to do something,
but hitting "Update Project Web Access" in the toolbar seems to submit the
resubmit the task (it doesn't create a duplicate). I'm trying to understand
the difference between the two buttons.

We were advised not to use the Outlook plug-in at the moment as there
seem to be some bugs.
Also, if tasks aren't updated within a certain number of days, the
plug-in seems to prevent going back.

Thanks..good to know! Can you point me to a post, blog, support page, or
something where I might be able to keep an eye on the issue? Perhaps where it
was originally mentioned or something?
