About Time Against Project Tasks

When your administrator has configured PSA accordingly, you can record time against project tasks in timecards via Time Entry or Log a Timecard With Task Time. To do this, see Entering Time Against Project Tasks.

Task Time Entry Modes

You can configure time against tasks to behave in a particular entry mode. Notes that are saved against project tasks created in Project Task Gantt can be viewed and edited on the timecard.

Entry Mode	Description	Default	Setting
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 automatically change. For instance, 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.		Use the Task Time Entry Mode setting to configure a time entry mode.
Calculated	When you change the timecard hours, the project task hours are not affected. The timecard hours for a day are always set to the sum of the task hours for that day. In this mode you can override the calculated timecard hours for each day.
