Activity Progress Dialog Box
Open Plan enables you to progress an activity by entering the physical percent complete (PPC) at either at the activity level or the resource level. You can status an activity using the Activity Progress dialog box.
Like the Activity Details dialog box, the Activity Progress dialog box is modeless, which allows you to keep it open while performing other operations in Open Plan. The navigation buttons and the Close, Undo, and Apply commands function identically to their counterparts in the Activity Details dialog box. You can, in fact, keep both the Activity Details dialog box and the Activity Progress dialog box open at the same time, updating the information in either dialog box as appropriate.
By default, Open Plan synchronizes multiple activity dialog boxes so that using the navigation buttons on one dialog box will result in Open Plan scrolling to the appropriate activity on another dialog box.
Tabs
The Activity Progress dialog box includes the following tabs:
- Activity tab: On the Activity tab, you can enter an actual start date and select one of the statusing methods.
- Resources tab: Enter resource progress information for actual and remaining usage at the same time regular activity progress information is entered.
- Notes tab: Create, edit, or delete a note attached to the activity.
The following buttons at the bottom of the Activity Progress dialog box apply to all tabs:
- Close: Closes the dialog box, saving any changes.
- Undo: Cancels any changes on this dialog box that have not been saved using the Apply button.
- Apply: Applies and saves changes on this dialog box, while leaving the dialog box open for further action. This button is disabled until changes are made.
- Help: Provides access to the online Help topic for the displayed tab.
A set of navigation controls allows you to select another activity.
