PPM Express Time allows synchronizing time reported on the PPM Express Time project to the PPM Express 'Completed work' task field. If the projects from PPM Express and PPM Expres Time are linked, tasks from PPM Express will appear as suggested time entries in PPM Express Time. When the time is reported (confirmed work) for these entries, the values will appear in the PPM Express 'Completed work' task field, if the 'Write totals to PPM Express completed work' feature is turned on.
Please note: This feature is enabled in PPM Express Time per project.
PPM Express Connection should be added to PPM Express Time and the project in PPM Express Time should be linked to the required project from PPM Express. For details on how to link PPM Express projects to the projects from external systems refer to this article.
Please note: If there are several users assigned to the same task in PPM Express and these users report time on the same task in PPM Express Time, the time in the 'Completed work' field will be summed up for these users.
Please note: If there are any values in the 'Completed work' task field in PPM Express, these values will be overwritten by the values from PPM Express Time after the "Write totals to PPM Express completed work" feature is enabled.
