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.
