Populate Hours

This option allows you to enter hours worked without having to open the employee or equipment record. This is very useful when dealing with multiple records. For example, if you have multiple pieces of equipment that were in use for ten hours upon completing a task, you could follow the steps above and enter ten in one of the Units fields. Then the work hours for each piece of equipment would automatically be populated without you having to edit each record.

To populate hours, complete the following steps:

1. Highlight the resource(s) in the Resources grid.
2. Right-click and select Populate Hours. The following window will appear:

   

3. Enter the time spent in the Units field. Select either Norm, Regular, or Overtime (OT).

   Note: If you enter data in the Norm field, the Time Cost field will be enabled.

   Note: The Time Cost field allows you to specify how the cost for the Norm hours should be calculated. If all the selected records are using the same time cost it will be displayed. If they use a different type time it will appear empty. Changing the time cost here will change it for all selected records.

4. Click when finished.
