MS Project 2003 recording Overtime

If a task needs more work to be done to bring it in on schedule and I authorise overtime, how do I record this in MS Project 2003. I can display overtime in the resource usage view but I cannot enter anything.

Many thanks

RE: MS Project 2003 recording Overtime

Hi Geoff,

Thank you for your question.

You need to open the Project and choose the Window menu and then Split. A second window will appear underneath. Now you need to right click over the bottom window and you will get a list of different views. Choose Resource Work. You can then enter the amount of overtime in the 5th column which is Overtime.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
