Track Projects by Periodic Actual Usage

Use the periodic actual usage tracking method to periodically enter resource actuals in tabulated views as well as ETC usage for each resource assigned to a task.

Periodic recording of resource usage for every task to which a resource is assigned is the most comprehensive and accurate way to keep track of your project. The actual usage is the timesheet recording method where the actual time each resource spends on a tasks is recorded at the end of a specific time period.

You can use the Gantt Chart view to track resource usage for all tasks to which a single resource is assigned. Use this view to track usage data for one resource across an entire project or group. When you use this view in conjunction with the Quick Filter by Resource drop-down, you can display data for one resource at a time.

Note: When tracking periodic actual usage, it is helpful to select the Resource LOA option on the Description tab of the View Definition dialog box.
