Simplified Time Reporting

•
Ribbon improvements (Multiple Tabs)
Adding Lines made easier
Administrative Lines carried from one time period to the next
Navigation Improvements
Approval Improvements
• Wired to support custom Approval workflows
• OOB Timesheet validations now support part time employees
Greater parity for the Scheduling Web Part. Improvements include:
• Schedule the entire project plan, instead of only the current task, without
clicking Calculate
• Cost and material resources can be assigned to tasks.
• Tasks can be assigned deadlines.
• Formula custom fields are updated immediately while you work with them in
Project Web App.
• Tasks can be Fixed Work or Effort-Driven, with full functionality.
• When you are editing a project, if no actions are taken for a set amount of time,
the editing session will time out to preserve valuable memory. Timeouts are also
necessary to be able to recover from things such as power, network, or disk
failures.
• A visual timeline of project tasks is included in the Schedule Web Part.
