Enter Planned Hours in Calendar Period Columns in Project Planning

To enter planned hours for resources for specific calendar periods (days, weeks, or months) on the Labor tab of the Plan form in the Projects hub, select the project, expand the plan work breakdown structure (WBS) to display the WBS elements or resources for which you want to enter hours, and enter the hours in the appropriate calendar period fields.

The Planned Hours sub-row should be selected on the Sub-Row Settings dialog box (which you access from the Labor tab of the Plan form). This is the only editable sub-row in the calendar section of the labor grid.

To enter planned hours for calendar periods:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Hubs > Projects > Plan.
  2. At the top of the Plan form, enter either a complete or partial name or number in the Find project lookup field to find and select the project for which you want to enter hours.
  3. On the Actions bar, click Check Out.
  4. Click the Labor tab.
  5. Expand the WBS to display the WBS elements or resources for which you which you want to enter hours.

    You can enter hours for any WBS element at any level of the WBS or for individual resources.

    To enter hours for a resource assignment that does not yet exist, hover over the WBS element to which you want add the assignment, click + next to the element name, and enter the assignment information.

  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 parent WBS element rather than for a resource, Vantagepoint allocates those hours to each lower-level plan row and to the assigned resources.

    As you make entries in calendar period columns, columns in the middle section of the grid that contain calculated values based on the calendar period entries, such as planned cost and billing amounts, are not updated immediately. Instead, Vantagepoint displays those values with a strikethrough to indicate that they are no longer current. When you move to another grid row or, with a few exceptions, otherwise move off of the current row, all grid cells with out-of-date values are automatically recalculated, and the strikethrough removed.
