Actual Task Hours "Auto-populating" in Resource Timesheet
Hello! I have a question about tasks that seem to have time actual values "auto-populate" in them on an employee's timesheets. Basically, when looking at a timesheet in Project Online (PWA), what causes some tasks to automatically show an hour value, when the resource has not yet entered anytime? Where-as other tasks on the same project will not show this automatically populated time, even though they are assigned to the same resource and still have time remaining? I have an example below. Of the three tasks below, all 3 were still active, but only the "Project Management" task is displaying values in the "Actual" field that the resource did not enter? Looking at the task details in the Project Desktop application, all of the tasks are very similar in the Assignment Information. They are all assigned to the same resource, they are all manually scheduled, etc. The only difference that I can see is the "Work Contour" field show as "Contoured" on the task that is auto-populating time values. Whereas the other tasks are set as "Flat". Project Management Task Info: Other Task Info: Would this "Work Contour" field be having the impact described above on the employees' hours on the Timesheet? If so, how/where is "Work Contour" being determined? If something else may be causing the auto-populating values on the Timesheet, I would be happy for any additional information. Thanks! Chris
Problem: Project Accelerator Power app "Tasks" tab connected to P4TW UI
Hello, I have been dealing with an issue for over a month now where the embedded Web Control on the Power App that compliments project 4 the web will not expand even to the point where I can see one task in a project schedule. It is making the app very frustrating to use. Does anyone out there have experience with this type of issue or are you facing the same problem? As you can see in the photo you can barely see one task in a project. I have tried the new and the classic designer to change the size on this box and I cannot. Specifically, it seems like an issue with the resizing of the PexWebControl in the project form under the tasks tab. The control does not even load in the designer. There is no way to resize it! PexWebControl is "control to host the modern project UI inside project form". I have opened a ticket with Microsoft and it has not been helpful. I have been bounced around and no one seems to know anything about this issue. This is also probably due to the fact P4TW is very new and not many people are allocated to it maybe. Either way I need help! Please community help me! 🙂
P4W competing with PWA
Project for the Web (P4W) and Project Web App (PWA) cover (today) very different needs. P4W has a more modern approach, technologically, but with a fairly superficial functional coverage. PWA uses legacy technologies but has hundreds of features that P4W doesn't, such as program and portfolio management, better resource management, and more progress measurement options. Sadly, Microsoft seems to be making efforts to get users to switch to P4W, without yet providing P4W with all the necessary functionality. Recently the PWA project center starts showing an icon to create new projects. New projects remain in P4W, without them being able to be managed properly from PWA, creating great confusion and problems among PWA users. Even Project Professional Desktop (part of PWA) has begun to show a decline in the quality of the application. All this would not be a problem if P4W had the depth of functionality of PWA. Do you think it is a correct strategy to start affecting PWA, to ensure a possible migration to P4W?
