Overview

Extra PWA Reports add three powerful reports to Project Web Access.

These reports display the following details:

“Unapproved Hours” Report shows the working hours that are not

approved by the project manager for the resources filtered

according to the user's choice.

“Reported Hours” Report shows the reported working hours in

relation to the quota working hours per day for the resources filtered

according to the user’s choice.

“Late Tasks” Report shows the tasks that their finish date passed and

they have not been completed yet.

The Business Need

Often, project manager wants to know in real time what the resources

status or the tasks status is.

The project manager is able to get these data only after publishing the

project.

The Solution

Extra PWA Reports present the information in real time without the need

of the project to be published.
