I had a little hiccup yesterday and had to ask the dev fellas for a hand (oh the shame).
No matter – I got my answer and now I feel so much smarter and cleverer.
When running the Summary of All Projects report (Reports Manager > Reports Page > General Projects Reports) you’ve got a few different filters to chose from; clients, projects, display by. The Display options tripped me up when I was using the ‘Time Spent’ option, it would not display all tasks for my projects and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why.
Too easy was the answer, with ‘Time Spent’ as the Display filter we will only get a result for tasks with time recorded against them. This explained why my report was giving me only half the tasks I was expecting. Once I changed this filter to ‘Pricing Details’ life was grand again and I was scratching my head no more!

So I guess the moral of my tale is not to be afraid to play with the settings and don’t be afraid to ask for a hand – even the best of us sometimes can’t see the woods for the trees.
