Project Server: Adding fields in the timesheet view

In Project Server 2003:

What you'll have to do is, before you publish your project to the server:

  1. Log on to PWA with Administrator rights.
  2. Go to Admin-Manage views. Select the Timesheet view and Modify. Add the field which you would like to include in your view.

Now the Project Manager can add the selected field he wish to make available in the timesheet.

  1. Open your .mpp file in Project Professional 2003.
  2. Go to Tools-Customize-Published Fields.
  3. Select the fields (the ones selected in PWA). Select the Assignment Radio Box. Check "Let resource change field" if you require the resource to input for a particular field (e.g. Cost, Actual Start).
  4. Click OK.

Once you've done that, republish your project if you have already done so. You need to republish to make sure the Project File on the server reflect the changes. You can then go and build your view and you'll start to see the information you want.

In Project Server 2007:

  1. Log on with Administrator rights.
  2. Click on Server Settings in the quick launch.
  3. Manage Views, click on the Timesheet view and just add the columns you want.
  4. Save!
