I posted a short while ago about this topic , but wanted to make clear how you can continue working with time phased tracking for normal projects if you have got used to it since the IU.  Brief re-introduction to the problem for new readers – we introduced a time-phased grid for time entry with the Infrastructure Update, but this opened a back door for time phased entry where the project manager was trying to enforce a different tracking method.  SP2 closed this back door.  So if you have been enjoying this loophole between IU and SP2 then you can continue working in this way with your projects (I’ll come to activity plans and proposals later) by the correct application of settings in PWA, Server Settings, Task Settings and Display – and also Project Professional, Tools, Options, Collaborate.  First the PWA settings. If you only want to have time phased task entry for all projects then you should also check the “Force” option.  If you want to have time phased for some projects then you can select the default method here as required, and not set the “force” option – and then in Project Professional you can set the option on a project by project basis, on the Collaborate tab under Tools, Options.
