Clarity

We are new to CAPPM... After creating detailed tasks in a M$P schedule, I have to believe it is possible to choose which tasks the task owner can see when entering time...right?  If so, how does one set this up?  ex.  Developer is assigned to 10 tasks associated to one work product... we want the developer to only see the one work product task and put time against it.

Thanks in advance.

The system wide setting (in Timesheet Options in the administration menu) "Allow Assigned Tasks Only" controls whether users can only add tasks to which they are specifically assigned to onto their timesheet (as oppossed to any task on a project that they are allocated to)

When the developer populates their timesheet, they will see those tasks that they are assigned to, that they should be working on during the week they opened.  User has ability to add tasks, too, for event where user may be starting something earlier than planned.

See:  Submit a Timesheet<https://docops.ca.com/ca-ppm/15-3/en/using/getting-started-with-classic-ca-ppm/submit-a-timesheet> and What Determines Which Tasks Appear on Timesheet<https://support.ca.com/us/knowledge-base-articles.tec435558.html>

One of the problems I see, here, often, is that project manager doesn’t have a good WBS and doesn’t update their schedule – so when populating the timesheet, the user often doesn’t see what they should be seeing.

CA PPM is a project/resource management system, first – not a simple time entry system.  If one doesn’t manage projects well, the timesheets will be a mess.  Manage projects well, and the timesheet content quality ought to be high – and you’ll have happier users.
