FAQs / Troubleshooting​

Why am I unable to enter hours in the Time Shift grid?

This usually occurs when the Project, Team, or Milestone is not selected. All three must be chosen before hours can be entered.

Why is the total hours value showing as zero?

The total remains zero if no hours are entered or if the entered values are not saved. Users must click the Save button to update the total hours.

Why are my previously entered hours not visible?

This may happen if the user is viewing a different date range. Ensure the correct week is selected using the Previous and Next navigation buttons.

What should be done if the Save button does not store the entries?

Users should verify that all required fields are filled correctly and that valid numeric values are entered for hours before saving.

Why is the wrong work type recorded?

The Work Type must be selected before entering hours to ensure correct categorization.
