Update Tasks & Tracking

When you are tracking using the 'Update Tasks' icon is there any way to put not only start and finish dates but also the actual amount of days that have been worked on the task in question. For example we have resources that will work a certain amount of days on a task e.g. 5 days but will not work on the task 5 days in a row so the start and finish date may have 10 days inbetween them.

Many Thanks

RE: Update Tasks & Tracking

Hi Jen

Thank yopu for your question

The easiest solution is to enter the hours actually worked in the Resource usage sheet.

Open the Gannt chart, split the screen (windows-Spilt) and then change the bottom window to the resource usage view. Then select the task you wish to work with.

You will see the hours each resource is working on the task. If you alter the zoom level, so the minimum unit is one day, you can then manually adjust the hours worked on each day.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to get post a follow up

Regards

Stephen
