Entering or Viewing Other Actual Data in Time Sheets

Apart from entering the actual effort on work items in your time sheet, you can view or enter other actual data in the time sheet Other Actuals tab.

What you can enter or view in this tab varies depending on the work items included in the time sheet. The following table describes all the columns that may appear in this tab. These columns are used to display or specify fields for only the following:

  • Tasks in projects for which a project manager has integrated Time Management and Project Management.

    Having fields in these columns on the time sheet's Other Actuals tab to report "actuals" for tasks makes it unnecessary to access Project Management to report the same actuals. Which fields are visible in a column can vary from project to project, depending on how the project manager has configured the project.

  • Requests whose request types are configured to use Time Management to track actuals.
