Resolution

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
