Details
- In the Completed field, the functional degree of completion can be entered.
- In the Forecast field at task level, there are summarized forecast values on remaining effort (for each task, sum of all resource assignments of the task). This field is preset with a traffic light function and is colored red or green depending on whether the Remaining effort is overrun or undercut by the forecast.
- When opening the task-resource-assignment, forecasts of individual resources on remaining effort which you have entered in the course of recording hours worked in the Time Recording module will also be visible in the Forecast field. The field is also preset with a traffic light.
- Forecast values can
- be entered manually. To do so, the Forecast field must also be cleared manually for future forecasts.
- or it must be copied to the Remaining effort field by clicking on the Copy forecast button. As a result, the Forecast field is automatically cleared for future forecasts. If no particular records are marked, all existing forecast values are copied automatically.
- In order for the adoption of forecasts to take effect you have to recalculate the schedule (by clicking on the calculation button in the toolbar).
- If Resource Planning with Requests/Approvals are used, the Adopt forecasts button is not available.
Note
- By clicking on the required task and selecting the Edit task context menu command you switch to the Task module. Here you can edit different paramaters and settings of the task.
