For a project/task to be displayed as a bar in a Gantt chart, it must have an Estimated Start Date and an Estimated End Date. If a project/task has both an Estimated Start Date and an Estimated End Date, but you still cannot see a bar in the Gantt chart for it, it may be […]

Why can’t I see anything in the expense fields?
You are a Normal user and have not been given the “Can see expense data no matter what” right in your user profile. When granted, this right allows you to see financial data across all your assigned projects. Additionally, you have not been granted expense approval rights on the given project. When expense approval rights are […]
How is project progress calculated?
The % Done you see just below the Status field in the Edit Project Information page is the same as the Estimated Average % Done which may be displayed in the Home => Projects > Projects page. This is also the value used in the project Gantt charts to display overall progress on the projects. This […]
What does Allocation based on estimated hours mean in the User Workload Report?
When the “Allocation based on estimated hours” mode is selected, AceProject divides the user’s estimated hours on an incomplete task evenly by the number of working days from its Estimated Start Date to its Estimated End Date. If the Estimated Start Date of the task is passed, the estimated hours will be distributed evenly from the […]
Can I change the default sorting order in task reports?
Yes. Under “Edit my Profile” (avatar in top right hand corner of screen), you will find a setting called “Sort Task Report by” in the “Pagination” section. This setting allows you to specify the field to sort your task lists (including drop downs) and task reports by as well as the order (ascending or descending). […]
What does Allocation based on % done and estimated hours mean in the User Workload Report?
When the “Allocation based on %Done and estimated hours” mode is selected, AceProject uses the %Done value on a task and the user’s estimated hours on that task to compute the number of remaining hours the user has on the task. The system then divides these hours evenly among the number of working days left […]
Can I change the number of projects/tasks displayed in Gantt charts and lists?
The “Number of Tasks per Page” and ” Number of Projects per Page” parameters under ” “Edit my Profile” (avatar in top right hand corner of screen) ” in the “Pagination” section allow you to control the number of tasks/projects per page in lists and Gantt charts. Up to 100 tasks/projects can be displayed per page.
I can’t find a specific project or task in a report. Why?
One or several filters may be preventing the project or task from showing up. For instance, we often receive e-mails from clients saying they are unable to find a static template in their project list. Most of the time, the issue is that the “Include Static Templates” checkbox in the filters area is not checked. […]
Progress on a task in a Gantt Chart does not seem correct. What could be the problem?
The task Gantt Chart colored portion of the bars reflect the task %Done value (as specified in the drop-down which lists percentages from 0 to 100% in 10% increments), not the Actual % Done value based on actual hours recorded in the timesheets. Also make sure you are viewing the entire Gantt bar of the […]
