View Timesheet Summary Missing Last Tasks!

P

Pete Chrisbacher

Hello all -

Using MPS 2003, MPP 2003

Logged into PWA as a Project Manager, in Resources=>View Timesheet
Summary=>Timesheet View it appears PWA is "losing" the last task for all
displayed resources.

E.g. If the actual timesheet looks like this:
Task 1
Subtask 1
Subtask 2
Subtask 3

The Timesheet Summary view will show:
Task 1
Subtask 1
Subtask 2

This happens consistently for all resources (we only have two in the current
plan). As it happens, we've only noticed this since approving the
timesheets for these resources, but it may have been the case prior to
approval - not sure.

Anyone else experience this? Is it a known bug? Is this just a display
problem, or is there actual data corruption happening behind the scenes?

I'll investigate further to see what I can figure out (likely tomorrow or
Monday ;-) - but I figured I'd post in the mean time in case someone else
had seen this before.

Thanks -

-Pete

Pete --

On the View Timesheet Summary page, I believe you will see two links in the
sidepane on the left called "Current Tasks" and "All Tasks". By definition,
a "current task" is any task that should have started by now but has not
started, any task that has started but is not yet finished, and any task
scheduled to begin during the next 10 days. If you have the "Current Tasks"
option selected, that is probably responsible for some of the tasks not
showing up, as they started more than 10 days in the future. Let me know if
this helps.

Thanks Dale -

On the View Timesheet Summary page, I don't see any option re which tasks to
display, current or otherwise. That does sound familiar to me though, so I
must have seen it elsewhere, but it's not on the page where I'm (not) seeing
the missing task.

I may have found the cause (bug)...
The timesheet I was looking at was for the period 1/14 - 1/23. In the
project plan, the PLANNED start date for both mysteriously missing tasks is
Monday, 1/26. It appears the timesheet summary view is showing tasks that
were PLANNED for the timesheet week in question, not tasks that were
actually worked on during the timesheet week in question. This is just my
interpretetation though -

I think this is a bug. Can anyone else confirm?

Thanks -

-Pete
