After sending the actual work, you can no longer change the actual working time for the week.
You must cancel the validation request to make a change.
Validate work
Project managers can validate the work or any other personalized profile authorized to do so.
Only people with the necessary permissions can see this button
When the work is validated, then the resource can no longer modify its work on this week. Likewise, the cancellation of validation will no longer be available.
The validation system is optional and can therefore be hidden.

Entry field¶
In order to see and know the assignments on a task, several columns indicate the periods assigned to a resource
Assigned
It is the work assigned to the resource that is calculated by the software.
Real work
This is the work actually performed and reported by the resource.
Left work
This is the work that the resource still has to provide for this task
Left work is automatically decreased on input of real work.
Resources can adjust this value to estimate the work needed to complete the task.
Reassessed
This is the work required to complete the task. It’s the actual work + the rest to do. See: “progress-section-date-duration”
You cannot edit Assigned Work, Actual Work, and Reassessed directly in columns.
This information is calculated directly by the software based on what you have entered
Real work entry
Area to enter real work. It possible put real work in off days.
Columns of days off is displayed in grey.
Days off is determine in resource calendar definition.
Total of days
On the last row is the sum for all days of the week.
It is a synthesis displayed for each project and globally for the whole week.
The resource capacity is defined by the number of hours per day and the resource capacity (fte).
Total of the day Zone¶
Total for the day is green if entries are completely within the resource’s ETP capacity
The total for the day is light red if entries are greater than the resource’s FTE capacity.
Total for the day is dark red if entries are greater than the maximum daily work allowed on the resource.
A message A message warns you that you exceed the authorized fixed quota.
You will not be able to save the timesheet with a higher quota
Total for the day is uncolored if entries are less than the resource’s FTE capacity

The status of tasks¶
The task status can be changed automatically according to data entries on real work and left work.
Set to first in progress status: if the parameter value is set to “Yes”, when real work is entered on a task, its status will be changed automatically to the first status “In progress”.
Set to first done status: if the parameter value is set to “Yes”, when left work is set to zero on a task, its status will be changed automatically to the first status “done”.
Change status validation
An icon will be displayed on the task if a status change is applicable.
Due to real work is entered, the task status will be changed to the first ‘In progress’ status.
The real work is entered, but the task status will not change because at issue is occurring.

Timesheet Validation¶
Timesheet validation¶
The timesheet validation screen allows the project manager to receive, verify and validate the time allocated weekly by the resources to an activity for all the projects.
Selection and filters¶
You can filter the display of this screen by resource, by team and by period.
The visibility of resources in the list is defined according to your rights defined by your profile.
You can increase the display restriction with the possibility to show only some of the validation request.
Color code¶
According to the work completed by the resource, and according to the expected workload for this resource.
The project leader receives the timesheet with a precise color code.
Green: The completed job is the same as the expected one.
Red: The filled workload is shorter or longer. It does not match the expected work.
Orange: the job is not the same as the expected job but the load is the same.
Example of completed charges which generate the orange color code¶
Validation¶
In the Timesheet submitted column you see the date and time when the resource to send the submission.
In the Timesheet validation column you have the possibility to validate the work or to cancel the submission so that the resource can correct his work.
Monthly consolidation¶
Monthly consolidation allows you to view, control and validate resource allocations to a particular project for an entire month. This screen will list all the projects on which the user has visibility.
Monthly consolidation screen¶
Filters will limit the list:
Project to restrict the listed projects to this project and its sub-projects
Project Type to restrict the listed projects to projects of this type
Organization to restrict the listed projects to the projects of this organization
Month and year to restrict to this date
Note
By default, this will be the last month for which projects are still blocked, or failing this it will be the current month.
This screen will display for each project not validated:
The currently known CA
The currently known validated load
The total actual load currently known to the project
The actual load consumed on the project for the selected month
The remainder to be done currently known
The currently known reassessed load
The currently known margin (load) = load validated - load reassessed
For validated projects, the data displayed is that stored during validation.
Block a project over a month
The 
and 
buttons allow you to block or unblock charges beyond the month-end date. When the project is blocked for a given month, you cannot enter a charge for the following month, even if it has started. The block will be propagated recursively to sub-projects.
Validate a project over a month
The 
and 
buttons allow you to block or unblock charges beyond the month-end date. When the project is blocked for a given month, you cannot enter a charge for the following month, even if it has started. The block will be propagated recursively to sub-projects.
Warning
Access to the blocking / unlocking and the validation button will be configured by a specific right.
Absences¶
Absences must be reported as soon as possible so that the calculation of your project schedule takes into account the unavailability of resources.
projeqtor offers two types of non-productive work records:
A simple system, that of absences, linked to an administrative project which will make it possible to record real work in the future.
a complex system, that of human resources, linked to a system of contracts and rights acquired over time.
Absences are related to an administrative type project.
absences screen¶
Only one project is necessary for all the resources, without them being allocated to this project.
Resource Selector
Depending on your rights and profile, you can have access to the resources that you manage or only to yourself.
Select the resource whose non-productive days you want to add as well as the year on which these days will be retained.
Types of absences
Each type of absence is an activity related to the administrative project.
You can create as many activities as types of absences.
you must select an activity first to be able to click on calendar days.
Accelerator
After selecting the type of leave, click on the accelerators to enter the selected value directly in the date boxes in the calendar.
1: full day
0.5: half day on the type of leave selected
0: delete the days already entered
You can combine an absence recurrence for a given day.
Select the day value (0.5, 1) and then select a day from the drop-down list.
The corresponding days will be marked absent for the previously selected value from the current date until the end of the current year.
You can also select a period between two dates to apply the selected value.
