How To Populate Hours for Multiple Resources

The Populate Hours 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 "10" in one of the Units fields.  The work hours for each piece of equipment would automatically be populated without having to edit each record.

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

    Populate Hours PM

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

    Note: The Norm field allows you to enter holiday hours, vacation hours, or any other type of specialty hours.  If you enter data in the Norm field, the Time Cost field will be enabled.  The Time Cost field allows you to specify whether the specialty hours were billed as regular or overtime.

  4. Click Button OK when finished.
