public void PrepareTimesheetLine(
Guid tsUID,
ref TimesheetDataSet dsDelta,
Guid[] tlsNeedFill
)
Parameters
- tsUID
Type: System.Guid
The unique identifier for the specified timesheet.
- dsDelta
Type: [TimeSheet Web service].TimesheetDataSet
A populated TimesheetDataSet object.
- tlsNeedFill
Type: []
An array of unique identifiers of the timesheet lines to populate.
Remarks
Project Web App uses the PrepareTimesheetLine method in the Add Task dialog box and when creating a new timesheet.
When you define an administrative task in Project Web App, it is automatically added when a team member creates a timesheet. Administrative tasks are defined on the Administrative Time page (https://Servername/ProjectServername/_layouts/pwa/Admin/AdmTime.aspx). However, administrative tasks defined for specified period in Project Web App are added to all timesheets. You can use the PrepareTimesheetLine method to selectively add additional administrative tasks to a timesheet.
Project Server Permissions
Permission |
Description |
|---|---|
Non-standard |
The current user is the timesheet owner. |
Allows the user to make changes to a timesheet. Applies only if the current user is not the timesheet owner. Category permission. |
Examples
The following code example creates a blank timesheet, then adds an administrative line to it, prepares the line, and saves it to the database.
Note
You might need to delete old timesheets or create periods if there are no open periods without timesheets for the sample resource.
For critical information about running this code sample, see Prerequisites for ASMX-Based Code Samples.
