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: 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 when finished.
