Does anybody out there track actual time worked to compare to planned time for a task? If so - how?
I generally have my durations populating my projected start and projected finish dates. I then have my people manually enter the actual start and actual finish dates. For immediate tracking I use RYGG balls in an At Risk Column coupled with a Status column for not started, in progress, or complete. I then use a nested if statement in the RYGG column to base criteria off of the status, projected start, actual start, projected finish, and actual finish. If I notice that projects are consistently behind or ahead of schedule, I will use some basic formulas to find the differences between actual and projected and adjust my template accordingly.
We do not track hours because of irregularities that we've seen when dealing with time in Smartsheets. Server time seems to vary from local time and reporting on these hours is tedious and difficult.
I don't track hours either. The way we work is multiple projects at the same time, so trying to track to that level of detail is almost impossible when jumping back and forth from project to project. I only track days.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
