Define Resource Actual Usage on Tasks

If you previously recorded a resource's periodic actual usage, you cannot change the total actual usage directly in a view. Use the Resources tab on the Task Properties dialog box to enter a resource's actual usage on a task.

To record a resource's total actual usage

1. From a view that displays the task detail pane, right-click a task and select Assignments.

   The Resources tab on the Task Properties dialog box opens.

2. In the Assigned Resources grid, select the name of the resource for which you want to record total actual usage, complete the following fields in the grid, and click OK:

   Actual

   Defines the cumulative actual usage.

   Act Thru

   Defines the last date through which actuals have been captured on the task for the resource.

   The resource detail section of the view is updated to reflect the resource's actual usage on the task.
