Reporting Period for the My Tasks page always defaults to NEXT WEEK rather than to the current week for all users



Microsoft Project Server Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Overview



Microsoft Project Server Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Details

Description

After the Project Server administrator configures time and task tracking in Project Server for the organization, the My Tasks page always defaults to the next week instead of the current week for all users. This means that users must always click the Previous button on the toolbar at the top of the My Tasks data grid to enter actual progress for the current week.

Resolution

The source of this problem is setting Saturday as the starting day of the week for the My Tasks page. Whether this is a bug or by design, you cannot specify Saturday as the starting day. To resolve this problem, the Project Server administrator must specify either Saturday or Sunday as the starting day for the My Tasks page by completing the following steps:

1.  Log into PWA with Administrator permissions.

2.  Click Server Settings > Task Settings and Display.

3.  On the Task Settings and Display page, click the Week Starts On pick list and select either Sunday or Monday.

4.  Click the OK button.

After completing the above set of steps, each user's My Tasks page will now default to the current week instead of the next week.
