The Tracking views provide a series of notifications and alerts that bring potential discrepancies between the initial plan and the Timesheet entries to the Project Manager’s attention:
 | Outstanding Timesheets in the past Indicates that the Actual Effort of at least one Timesheet is different from its corresponding Labor Assignment, and/or there is at least one Timesheet whose Status has not been “Approved” in the past. Upon clicking on the “Details” label of this alert, the Outstanding Timesheets in the Past popup is displayed, allowing the user to review the exceptions and to go to the corresponding time frame to resolve them. |
 | Not Compliant with Activity Log entries Indicates that the Timesheet Actual Effort is not equal to the Actual Effort entered in the Activity Logs. Upon clicking on the “Details” label of this alert, the Not Compliant with Activity Log entries popup is displayed, allowing the user to review the corresponding Activity Logs. |
 | Not as Planned Indicates that the Actuals from the Timesheets are not equal to the Planned Effort for a given Resource or Timesheet. |
 | New Assignments Indicates that the Team Member was not initially planned (at any time) for the Task (i.e., he/she assigned himself/herself to the Task). |
 | Remaining Effort Revised Indicates that the Remaining Estimate (Duration) entered by the Team Member is not equal to the planned Remaining Effort value. |
 | New Notes Indicates that at least one Note has been entered. Upon clicking on the Notes button, the Timesheet Daily Notes popup is displayed. |
 | Corrections Indicates that some corrections have been entered. |
In some views, a red dot (
) can be displayed next to the Timesheet values depending on the encountered alerts. The following alerts can be taken into account: “Not as Planned”, “New Assignments”, and “Not Compliant with Activity Log entries”.
The alerts taken into account differ depending on the options selected by the Administrator in the System Settings workspace, Project Settings folder, Time Tracking Options tab.
