Entering Time Against Project Tasks

When you enter time against a task, the Time Entry page behaves in one of the following ways depending on the entry mode your administrator has chosen.

Entry Mode Description
Current This is the default time entry mode. You cannot enter time against a project task while in this mode.
Adjust up When you enter time against project tasks, if the sum of the hours for project tasks on a timecard day is greater than the timecard hours on that day, the timecard hours for that day are set to the sum of the project task hours on that day. If you remove the project task or reduce the hours on a project task, the timecard hours do not change.
For example, if you enter a timecard with two hours for Monday and then enter four hours against a project task for Monday, the timecard hours for Monday change to four. If you then remove the project task, the timecard hours for Monday remain at four.
Calculated Changing the timecard hours has no effect on the project task hours. The timecard hours for a day are always set to the sum of the task hours for that day. When in this mode you can override the calculated timecard hours for each day.
Freeform When you enter time against a task, this has no effect on the timecard hours and changing the timecard hours has no effect on the project task hours. Project task and day totals are shown.

For more information, see Timecard Settings.
