Microsoft Project Server Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Details

Resolution for Project Server 2002 and 2003

If your organization's method for tracking progress is Hours of Work Done per Day or per Week, then each team member can add a line for Actual Overtime Work to his/her Project Web Access timesheet. To do this, each team member should complete the following steps:

1.  Click the View Options tab.

2.  Select the "Show Overtime Work" option.

If your organization's method for tracking progress is Actual work done and work remaining, then all project managers will need to add the Actual Overtime Work column to the list of publish fields for all projects that they manage. To do so, each project manager must complete the following steps:

1.  Launch Microsoft Project Professional and log into Project Server.

2.  Open a project.

3.  Click Tools - Customize - Published fields.

4.  Select the Actual Overtime Work field from the list on the left and copy it to the list on the right.

5.  Click the "Set as default" button to add this field to all new blank projects.

6.  Click OK.

7.  Click Collaborate - Publish - Republish Assignments and then click OK.

Note: If your organization uses Project Server 2003 along with the Actual Work Done and Work Remaining method of tracking progress, the Project Server administrator must add the Actual Overtime Work field to the Timesheet view by completing the following steps:

1.  Log into Project Web Access with administrator permissions.

2.  Click Admin - Manage views.

3.  Select the Timesheet view and click the Modify View button.

4.  Add the Actual Overtime Work field to the list on the right.

5.  Position the Actual Overtime Work field using the Up and Down buttons.

6.  Click the Save Changes button.

Resolution for Project Server 2007

If your organization's method for tracking progress is Hours of Work Done per Period, then your organization must also use the My Timesheet functionality to capture Regular Work and Overtime Work, and team members must import progress from the My Timesheet page to the My Tasks page. To set up the My Timesheet page to enter Actual Overtime Work, every team member should complete the following steps for every timesheet period:

1.  Navigate to the My Timesheets page and open a Timesheet for editing.

2.  Click the Actions pick list menu and select the Show/Hide Overtime Work option.

3.  Enter regular Actual Work (non-overtime work) on the line associated with the project task.

4.  Enter Actual Overtime Work on the Overtime line for the task.

If your organization uses the Actual Work Done and Work Remaining method of tracking progress, the Project Server administrator must add the Actual Overtime Work field to the My Assignments view by completing the following steps:

1.  Log into Project Web Access with administrator permissions.

2.  Click Server Settings - Manage Views.

3.  In the My Work section, click the My Assignments view to open it for editing.

4.  Add the Actual Overtime Work field to the list on the right.

5.  Position the Actual Overtime Work field using the Up and Down buttons, as needed.
