Hi Dale,
after some more in depth reading of the documentation available online, I discovered that we could possibly reach some of our goals by unchecking the "Single Entry Mode" option in Timesheet Settings and setting a "Hours of work done per period" in Task Settings.

My advice for you is DO NOT uncheck the Single Entry Mode option. This option ties the Timesheet page and the Tasks page together, which is a good thing. My guess is that you are trying to get the software to work the way YOU want it to work, which I believe will fail you. Please re-read my previous post, which describes how the software actually works, and why you need to save a Baseline in each of your projects. And then I hope you will heed my advice.
