Resolution

Project Server supports three tracking methods. You have the option to lock down the default method of tracking for all projects or at the server or to allow each project manager to select the tracking method on a project-by-project basis. In summary, the following describes the affect of selecting each tracking method:

·        Percent of work complete -- When you select this method, each team member sees the task sheet on the left side and a Gantt Chart on the right side of the View My Tasks page in Project Web Access. Team members can only enter actual progress in the % Work Complete field and the Remaining Work field in the task sheet on the left side of the page. If the team member displays the Timesheet on the right side of the page, all cells in the timesheet grid are locked so that users cannot enter progress in the Timesheet grid.

·        Actual work done and work remaining -- When you select this method, each team member sees the task sheet on the left side and a Gantt Chart on the right side of the View My Tasks page in Project Web Access. Team members can only enter actual progress in the Actual Work field and the Remaining Work field in the task sheet on the left side of the page. If the team member displays the Timesheet on the right side of the page, all cells in the timesheet grid are locked so that users cannot enter progress in the Timesheet grid.

·        Hours of work done per day or per week -- When you select this method, each team member sees the task sheet on the left side and a Timesheet on the right side of the View My Tasks page in Project Web Access. Team members can enter actual progress values in the Actual Work cells of the Timesheet grid on the right side of the page, and can enter a value in the Remaining Work field in the task sheet on the left side of the page.
