Parent vs. subtasks on timesheets

[CelesteDi]

hello Workfront world. Is there a way to prevent parent tasks from appearing on timesheets? we only want the children (subtasks) to appear. Thanks in advance. Celeste [Celeste] [DiDio] [] [] [PwC] [Tampa] [Fl] [813-373-0748]

ha - I think I figured this out. Managers are putting assignments on the parent tasks as well as the sub-tasks. So both the parent and the subtasks appear on the user's timesheet. It was confusing because they also named both the parent and the subtasks the same - and gave them different descriptions. Looks like it is a training opportunity. Thanks!

Hi Celeste, Your discovery there would be the only way to do this. There's not a way for the timesheet object to differentiate between parent and child tasks. However, that being said, what I've had clients I support do to differentiate between task hierarchy is use hyphens. Example, no hyphens = parent, 1 hyphen = 1st level child, 2 hyphens = 3rd level. Parent - 1st level Child - - 2nd level Child - - - 3rd level Child That seems to go well for them, especially when they export the report to an excel sheet and lose formatting. Good luck!

Thank you Dustin! I will provide this idea to the project team. Great visual way to differentiate. C [Celeste] [DiDio] [] [] [PwC] [Tampa] [Fl] [813-373-0748]
