Task work fields
For each field listed below, the following information is given:
- Description - the information displayed by the field when added to the spreadsheet or to a text annotation.
- Parameters - any additional, optional parameters that you can use to modify the information that the field displays or the way in which the information is displayed.
- Editable? - whether the field is editable when displayed in a spreadsheet column. If a field is editable in the spreadsheet, you can change the data displayed in the column to edit the properties of the corresponding bar, task or allocation.
Actual task work
Description |
The amount of work (as specified in the Effort & Modelling section of the Task tab of the Bar and Task Properties dialog) that has been completed against a task by the report date of a specified progress period or today's date.
This information is used when you model consumable resources using the Quantity From Task modelling method, when you model permanent resources using the Work From Task modelling method and when you model tasks in terms of task work without using resources.
For more information, refer to Quantity From Task modelled consumable resources, Work From Task modelled permanent resources and Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Default allocation work rate
Description |
A default work rate, specified against individual tasks. If you specify a default allocation rate against a task, this work rate is applied to any permanent resource allocations that are assigned subsequently to the task, overriding the permanent resource's default work rate. Changing the task's default allocation rate has no effect on any permanent resource allocations that have already been assigned to the task. To make a task use the work rate that has been defined against the permanent resource, set this field to zero.
For more information, refer to Specifying a work rate against tasks that overrides the work rate of permanent resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Planned actual task work
Description |
The amount of work (as specified in the Effort & Modelling section of the Task tab of the
Bar and Task Properties dialog) that has been completed against a task by the report date of a specified progress period
This information is used when you model consumable resources using the Quantity From Task modelling method, when you model permanent resources using the Work From Task modelling method and when you model tasks in terms of task work without using resources.
For more information, refer to Quantity From Task modelled consumable resources, Work From Task modelled permanent resources and Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Planned task work remaining
Description |
The amount of work (as specified in the Effort & Modelling section of the Task tab of the
Bar and Task Properties dialog) that has yet to be completed against a task by the report date of a specified progress period
This information is used when you model consumable resources using the Quantity From Task modelling method, when you model permanent resources using the Work From Task modelling method and when you model tasks in terms of task work without using resources.
For more information, refer to Quantity From Task modelled consumable resources, Work From Task modelled permanent resources and Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Task work
Description |
The amount of work on a task (as specified in the Effort & Modelling section of the Task tab of the
Bar and Task Properties dialog).
For more information, refer to Quantity From Task modelled consumable resources, Work From Task modelled permanent resources and Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Task work material
Description |
The type of material that is involved in task work, for example Cement, Pipework or Skirting (as specified in the Effort & Modelling section of the Task tab of the Bar and Task Properties dialog).
For more information, refer to Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Task work rate
Description |
The work rate of a task. This information is used when you model tasks in terms of task work without using resources.
For more information, refer to Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
Parameters |
|
Editable? | Yes |
Task work remaining
Description |
The amount of work (as specified in the Effort & Modelling section of the Task tab of the Bar and Task Properties dialog) remaining to be completed on a task.
This information is used when you model consumable resources using the Quantity From Task modelling method, when you model permanent resources using the Work From Task modelling method and when you model tasks in terms of task work without using resources.
For more information, refer to Quantity From Task modelled consumable resources, Work From Task modelled permanent resources and Modelling tasks in terms of task work without using resources. |
