Start by selecting the row(s) you want to update and then click the Fill Values subtask link to display the Fill Values to Selected Record/s form, where you can select a fill method and set date parameters.

Field Description
Select Fill Method The Select Fill Method drop-down list provides four different options, which are described in more detail in the table below. Additional fields may display depending on the method selected, and each method requires you to select the range of periods you copy from.

For example, if Start Period set to 12/31/23 and End Period is set to 4/30/24, data for the selected method is captured for that range of periods. After you click Fill, the row or rows that you selected in the subtask populate with information encompassed by those dates.

The table below describes the four different fill methods and any additional fields that display.
Copy from Source Record Select this option to copy subtask row details from one resource to another. A Source Record field displays on the dialog box that enables you to select the record you want to copy from.
Specify Units Select this option to fill the period columns of the selected rows with a specific number of units. A Units field displays on the dialog box, where you can type the units.
Use Start Period Units Select this option to copy the units that exist in the selected starting period to all periods up through the selected ending period.

For example, if you set Start Period to 12/31/23 and End Period to 9/30/24, the units that exist in the first period are copied to every period up to 9/30/24.
Fill After you have selected your fill method and set the start and end dates, click Fill to populate the period columns of the selected rows in the Hours subtask.
