Hi
I was wondering if anyone could give a novice some guidance.
I have just recently had P3e/c installed and I have imported a couple of MS Project 2003 schedules which typically showed the following columns "Name", "Start", "Finish", "Duration", "Work" and "Cost".
What I would like to see is a layout / column which shows "work" (hours).
I normally have the duration and work columns sitting next to each other and they could be multiples of 8 hr’s or it could be 10 days duration and only 3 hr’s of work, i.e. updating a report spreadsheet over 2 weeks, not necessarily everyday.
With MSP this is all readily visible on the screen.
For some new schedules I sometimes use an old one and remove the resources (some may have moved on) so when I give a manager a hard copy he can see all the information he needs to see and only has to assign persons to tasks.
Is there a simple way to do this in a similar fashion??
Regards
Brian

Work or Manhours are generally called Units in P3e. One way to see this in a layout is to use the Budgeted Labor Units column.
It might also be an idea to go to Edit, User Preferences and check the Time Units tab so that your Units Format and Durations Format are set up for what you need (eg units in hours and durations in days)
Cheers
