Resolved Customer-Reported Bugs and Known Issues/Limitations:
• User logs in to the site and will not see any Timesheet under “Pending My Approval” if the user’s personal Regional and PC time zone is different than the timesheet list time zone. Note: After upgrading to the new version, go to the Timesheet list delete the wrong item then and re-submit again.
• Using one temporary list to hold the data for all requests is the main cause of the Timesheet being blank.
• Action button in Report Center Page does nothing when clicked.
• The manager cannot approve timesheets when the start date and due date of task A are modified to the future date value, which means the start date value of task A is greater than the end period value of the period range of the created timesheet (end period date < start date < due date).
• User cannot access the Reporting page when he is not directly granted permission to Reporting Page, but the AD group that contains that user is.
• Remove assigned to and date tags on alerts on summary emails.
• User cannot submit timesheet if have both Read and Contribute permission Shows “No data” error when extracting data using the date range and the selected start date for the date range falls in the period where no time was submitted.
• Add the additional field “Comment” in the Detailed Timesheet list.
• When there are a lot of resources and projects, the reports which contain the chart and the grid are very wide. The workaround is to narrow down the data filtering or select not showing the chart.
• After a report with big data is shown on the customer’s template site, a JavaScript error appears when doing anything (such as export to excel, etc.) in the header tool on that report.
• After a report with big data is shown on the customer’s template site, an error appears when paging about 20 items per page.
• In the language files for the Alert Plus Web Part, if you modify the text to a value that includes a space, such as changing “Edit” to “Edit Message”, a JavaScript error is displayed in the browser. This issue will be addressed in the next patch release.
• When accessing the site using HTTPS, clicking the “Preview Data” button in List Rollup Schema Designer in the “Configure task lists” Control Panel page will display a JavaScript error in the browser. This issue will be addressed in the next patch release.
• If you access the “Configure Alerts” Control Panel page (AlertSetup.aspx) to configure alerts and have not installed and configured the Alert Plus Timer Job, the following error is displayed: “OnPreRender::”
Known Issues:
• When upgrading from R1.7 to R2.0, the error “Access Denied: You must have Full Control or be a member of a Report Center group to view the reports.” appears if log in the site a user that belongs to AD group who granted in Reporting.aspx in R1.7 and added to Permission Setting in the tool pane. Note: Go to the Tool pane then click Save -> Apply -> Ok this issue is resolved.
• User Interface – If the header column width is narrowed down, the text of the grid footer will be cut off. This is the limitation of the Telerik radgrid control.
• Reporting- The ‘Total for date range’ row is wrong on the Planned Work column.
• Reporting- On SharePoint UI2010, Actual Work reports show a JavaScript error on the chart in Actual Work reports.
• Reporting- On SharePoint UI2010, shows a JavaScript error when clicking on the Pie Chart.
• Reporting- On SharePoint UI2010, shows a JavaScript error when clicking on the chart that has no data.
Limitations:
• The Resource ID cannot get value if Timesheet User is a SharePoint group or AD group.
• Grouping is case-insensitive in Report Center reports. For example, in a report that groups timesheet data projects, data from two different projects with the names “Project A” and “project a” will be grouped together.
• When adding views to the Report Views field for an item in the Report Configuration list, view names are case-sensitive. For example, “Approved Timesheets” and “approved timesheets” are not the same. The text must match the view name configured in the Timesheet list exactly.
