Enter Planned Hours for Calendar Periods in Resource View

To enter planned hours for a resource assignment for specific calendar periods (days, weeks, or months) in Resource View, display the resource in the Resource View grid, expand the plan work breakdown structure (WBS) under that resource to display the assignment for which you want to enter hours, and enter the hours in the appropriate calendar period fields.

To enter planned hours for calendar periods:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Resource Management > Resource View.
  2. If necessary, use a search to display, in the grid, the resource for whom you want to enter planned hours.
  3. If the correct calendar period columns are not displayed in the Resource View grid, click next to Forecast Range and use the Change Forecast Range dialog box to define the range and scale of the calendar period columns.
  4. If Show Capacity above the right corner of the grid is not set to Planned Hours, select that option.
  5. Expand the plan structure to display the WBS element for which you want to enter hours.

    You can enter calendar period hours for any WBS element at any level of the tree structure.

  6. Click the assignment row to display the entry fields, and enter the hours in the calendar period fields.

    If you enter hours for a WBS element for which lower-level WBS elements are displayed below it in the structure, Vantagepoint allocates those hours to each lower-level row.
