Entering Activity Progress

There are several ways to enter activity progress.

These include:

  • Activity Progress dialog box: To enter progress information in Open Plan, you can use the Activity tab of the Activity Progress dialog box. This dialog box displays the original duration of the activity along with the current date of Time Now and the current status of the activity.
  • Spreadsheet view: To facilitate the entry of progress information for multiple activities, Open Plan provides a standard progress spreadsheet view that you can use to enter any progress information. When entering progress information using this view, note that the setting of the Progress Type field determines how Open Plan interprets the Progress Value field. For example, if you entered Percent Complete for the Progress Type field, Open Plan interprets the Progress Value field as a percentage. You cannot modify the Accomplished Duration and Remaining Duration fields as they are calculated by Open Plan.
  • Barchart view: It is possible to status an activity displayed in a barchart view by manipulating the bar. By dragging the cursor from the start of the bar toward the end of the bar, you can indicate how much of the activity is complete. For a bar to be eligible for manipulation, the bar type must display early dates and must have the Drag option set to Yes. These settings are defined in the Bar Types dialog box.
