As a Project Manager, you can set timesheet settings for each individual project you manage. These settings allow you to:
Enable the Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) field.
Set ETC as a mandatory field while completing timesheets.
Specify the allowed grace period for timesheet reporting.
To specify timesheet settings:
Navigate to the Project Settings page by clicking (Project#) > Go To > Settings within a particular project, or select the Settings link on the Left Navigation Bar.
Click the [Edit] link next to Timesheets. The Timesheet Settings page is displayed.
Choose if you want to enable ETC.
Choose if you will require team members to enter the ETC for activities before submitting their timesheet.
Specify how many days before the activity start date can team members start reporting effort.
Specify how many days past the activity completion date can team members continue to report effort.
Click Save.
Note: If an activity has AET set to Timesheet and it does not have a closed date or a plan start date, then it is always available in Timesheets for reporting.
