Remember tree expansion state
TimeTracker NX timesheets and Gantt tables have item hierarchies.
If you want the screen to remain open as it was last time, check the box below.
This will save you the trouble of unfolding each item one by one when you open the screen, allowing you to start working straight away.
Please also consider the load on your server PC when deciding whether to check or not.
