The option was available before the upgrade (previous version was 16.0.1)

Cause

Resolution

  1. Go to Administration>>Project Management>>Timesheet Options
  2. Check 'Include actuals from previous timesheet (except for incidents)
  3. Click Save
  4. Click 'Apply to All Resources'

Note: The timesheet options when applied to all resources would reset the earlier custom defaults set at the individual user level (Classic PPM). Test solution on non-production first before moving to production.

The time tracking options via classic ppm Administration (Classic PPM > Administration > project management> timesheet options ) or via direct URL for the admin action http://clarity_url/niku/nu#action:timeadmin.timeTrackOptions

  • "Copy time entries from previous timesheet" can be checked and unchecked independent --- NKT.GEN.AUTOPOPULATE from the CMN_OPTIONS table.
  • Whereas as the dependent option "Include actuals from previous timesheet (except for incidents) ) " can only be checked with "Copy time entries from previous timesheet" is checked --- NKT.GEN.AUTOPOPULATE_VALUES from CMN_OPTIONS

SQL query provided below you would be able to ascertain if the users have any custom options set:

SELECT O.OPTION_CODE,V.VALUE

FROM   CMN_OPTION_VALUES V , CMN_OPTIONS O

WHERE O.OPTION_CODE ='NKT.GEN.AUTOPOPULATE_VALUES'

AND  V.OPTION_ID = O.ID

AND    V.USER_ID IS NOT NULL;

 

Based on the above SQL query results you could make the decision on whether to set the time track to all users or not. 

As a workaround the following classic ppm configuration URL that can still be used by the users individually to configure their custom time track options:
