Working time

is there any way of making a clear distinction between total time for a task and actual working time

RE: working time

Hi Ian

Thank you for your question. There are two fields in the database that you might find helpful: Work and Duration.

When you create a task you estimate its duration. When you assign a resource Project calculates the total Work associated with that task.

You can add the Work field to your table by right clicking on a column header and choosing insert column - from the field list choose Work.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
