Actual Duration display
in [Project]
|
From: jp on 2 Apr 2010 18:12 Hi, I'm updating tasks with actual hours spent each week on tasks. How do I change the display on the "Actual Dur" from days to hours? If a developer has worked 4 hour on a task that takes 5 days it displays ..5d under "Actual Dur". I would like to see it as 4 hrs? -jp
From: Andrew Lavinsky on 2 Apr 2010 20:14 Why don't you just display the Actual Work column?

From: jp on 3 Apr 2010 00:36 Hi Andrew, Thanks for replying to my email question. I added the "Actual Work" column but it is not already populated with any hours, even though I have been updating the task. Do the hours not populate automatically when that column is added? -JP "Andrew Lavinsky" wrote: > Why don't you just display the Actual Work column? > > "jp" wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm updating tasks with actual hours spent each week on tasks. > > How do I change the display on the "Actual Dur" from days to hours? > > If a developer has worked 4 hour on a task that takes 5 days it displays > > .5d under "Actual Dur".

Hello JP, Pardon me for bumping in. Actual Work should be automatically calculated if you are tracking actual duration and (1) you have assigned work resources to the tasks and (2) the option "Updating task status updates resources status" on the Calculation tab in Tools > Options is enabled (checked). I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
