Activities Work Area of the Timesheet Approval PageOverview Use this work area to review the activities assigned to a resource and reflected on a particular timesheet. The activity data provided is designed to assist you in evaluating whether you should approve or reject the resource's timesheet. Screen Elements Activity ID field The unique identifier of the activity to which the resource is assigned. Actual Overtime Units field The actual overtime units worked by the resource on this activity. This value is calculated from timesheets when project actuals are applied or can be entered directly by the project manager. Actual Regular Units field The actual non-overtime units worked by the resource on this activity. This value is calculated from timesheets when project actuals are applied or can be entered directly by the project manager. Activity Status field The status of the activity. Valid values are Not Started, In Progress, Completed. Auto Compute Actuals option Determines whether the activity actual and remaining units, and start and finish dates for the resource are calculated automatically using the planned dates, planned units, and the activity's schedule percent complete. If this option is selected, the actual/remaining units and actual dates are automatically updated when project actuals are applied. This assumes that all work by the resource proceeds according to plan. This option is not available if the Uses Timesheets option is selected. E-mail Address field The e-mail address for the resource. Employee ID field The resource identifier within the organization, typically the employee number or social security number. Pend Remaining Units field The estimate of the resource's remaining units on this activity. The pending remaining units is entered by each resource using timesheets. This value is copied to the resource's remaining units for the activity when project actuals are applied. The project manager specifies whether resources update their percent complete or remaining units for each project. Pending % Complete field The estimate of the percentage of the resource's units of work completed on this activity. The pending percent complete is entered by each resource using timesheets. This value is used to compute the resource's remaining units for the activity when project actuals are applied. The project manager specifies whether resources update their percent complete or remaining units for each project. Price/Unit field The non-overtime price per time for the resource. This price is used to compute costs for any activities the resource is assigned to. Calculated as Units multiplied by Price Per Time. Project ID field The unique identifier of the project. Project Name field The name of the project. Office Phone field The office phone number for the resource. Other Phone field The alternate phone numbers for the resource. Overtime Factor field The overtime factor used to compute the overtime price for the resource. The default is 1.5. Used in overtime calculations where the rate is multiplied by the overtime factor to figure the total overtime price. Rate Source field The value that indicates which price/unit will be used to calculate costs for the assignment, such as Resource, Role, and Override. When a resource and only a resource is assigned to an activity, the rate source will automatically equal Resource. When a role and only a role is assigned to an activity, the rate source will automatically equal Role. When both a resource and role are assigned to the activity, the rate source can be either Resource or Role determined by the Rate Source Preference. In any case, the Override value allows you to specify any other price/unit. Rate Type field Determines which of the five user-defined resource and role rate types will be used to calculate the cost for the resource assignment. Remaining Units field The remaining units of work to be performed by this resource on this activity. Before the activity is started, the remaining units are the same as the planned units. After the activity is completed, the remaining units are zero. Resource ID field The unique identifier of the resource. Resource ID Name field The identifying code and name of the resource. Resource Name field The name of the resource. Role ID field The unique identifier for the role the resource is performing on this activity.
