Unhiding tasks on timesheets

Karen

Hi,

Is there a way to unhide tasks in a timesheet after the 'Hide button' has
been used?

Thanks

Thanks for your help! Do you happen to know if there is a way to remove this
function from the timesheet?

Thanks

Karen -

PWA -> Admin - > Server Configuration - > Features

In the Tasks area, you can set Hide Tasks from Timesheet to Deny.
However, this will cause an accumulation of tasks unless you have a
process for removing closed/completed projects from Project Server or
you use the Clean Up Project Server Database functionality to
periodically remove deleted or very old tasks.

I think it is better to leave this function turned on and make it a
training issue that people don't hide tasks unless there is a really
good reason. Also, let your managers know that tasks can be unhid by
republishing.

To disable it for all:

1. PWA > Admin
2. Server Configuration
3. Scroll down to the list "Select the features that you want to make
available to users in Project Web Access"
4. Under Tasks section make sure Deny box for 'Hide Task From Timesheet' is
checked & Allow box is unchecked.
5. Save Changes (on Top)

To Disable for specific Project Group:

1. PWA > Admin
2. Manage Security (link on left)
3. Security Templates
4. Select Template Name (for concerned group) & click Modify Template button
5. Scroll down the permission list
6. Under Tasks section make sure Deny box for 'Hide Task From Timesheet' is
checked & Allow box is unchecked.
7. Save Changes (on Top)
8. Click 'Manage users and groups'
9. Click Groups
10. In the Group Name list select the concerned group & click Modify Group
button
11. Scroll down to the bottom of the page
12 From the sropdown select you template name you modified in step 4 above,
& hit 'Set Permission With Template' button
13. Hit Save changes button at the bottom

(Make sure you understand this 2nd approach very well before going with it.)
