public void UpdateTimeSheetSettings(
    TimeSheetSettingsDataSet dsDelta
)

Parameters

Remarks

Timesheet settings can be set on the Timesheet Settings and Defaults page in Project Web App (http:///ServerName/ProjectServerName/_layouts/pwa/Admin/TSSettings.aspx).

Properties in the TimeSheetSettingsDataSet.TimeSheetSettings[0] row have constraints; they cannot be null. Use the ReadTimeSheetSettings method to get the current settings, and then make changes.

Project Server Permissions

Permission

Description

ManageTimeTracking

Allows the user to manage timesheets that are submitted by resources. Global permission.

Examples

The following example reads the current timesheet settings, changes the values of WADMIN_TS_MAX_HR_PER_TS and WADMIN_TS_MIN_HR_PER_TS in the TimeSheetSettingsDataSet, and then uses the UpdateTimeSheetSettings method to change the maximum hours and minimum hours per timesheet. The example uses the SvcAdmin namespace in the ProjectServerServices.dll proxy assembly. The example also writes the updates that are in the new TimeSheetSettingsDataSet to an XML file.

Note

The ConfigClientEndpoints method uses an app.config file for setting the WCF binding, behavior, and endpoint. For information about creating a PSI proxy assembly and an app.config file, see Prerequisites for WCF-based code samples in Project 2013.
