Resource summary information is displayed by using a time unit other than the time unit that you specify in Project Server 2003
Consider the following scenario:
You log on to Microsoft Office Project Server by using Microsoft Office Project Professional. You then open or create an enterprise project. You specify the time unit for work in theÂ
Work is entered in box on the
Schedule tab of the
Options dialog box. However, when you view the project in Resource Usage view, you find that the resource summary information is displayed by using a time unit other than the time unit that you specified.
For example, you specify the time unit in the
Work is entered in box as
Minutes,
Days,
Weeks, or
Months. However, resource summary information in Resource Usage view is displayed in hours.
This issue occurs because resource summary information in an enterprise project is displayed by using the time unit for work that is set as the default time unit for all projects. By default, the time unit for work is set toÂ
Hours.
To work around this issue, set the time unit that you specify in the
Work is entered in box as the default time unit for work for all projects, and then open your project. To do this, follow these steps:
Project Server 2003 and 2007
- Log on to Project Server by using Project Professional.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Schedule tab.
- In the Work is entered in box under Scheduling options for ProjectName, click the time unit that you want to use for work.
- Click Set as Default, and then click OK.
- Open your project.
Project Server 2010
- Log on to Project Server 2010 by using Project Professional 2010.
- On the File tab, click Options, and then click the Schedule tab.
- In the Scheduling options for this project dropdown box, click All New Projects.
- In the Work is entered in dropdown box, click the time unit that you want to use for work.
- Click OK.
- Open your project.
When you open an enterprise project, a hidden enterprise resource pool project is also opened. The hidden enterprise resource pool project is used for all enterprise projects that you open when you log on to Project Server. Â
The settings that the hidden enterprise resource pool project uses are based on the default settings for all projects in Project Professional. Therefore, if the default time unit for work is set toÂ
Hours in Project Professional, the hidden enterprise resource pool project uses Â
Hours as the time unit for work.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
