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. The following procedure explains how to record a resource's total actual usage.

Follow these steps:

1. Open a view that displays the task detail pane.
2. Right-click a task and click Assignments from the shortcut menu.
3. Select the name of the resource for which you want to record total actual usage in the Assigned Resources grid.
4. Complete the following fields to update the resource detail section of the view to reflect the resource's actual usage on the task:

   Actual

   Defines the cumulative actual usage.

   Act Thru

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

5. Click OK.
