Enter Summary Planned Hours in Project Planning

To have Vantagepoint allocate summary planned hours to individual resource assignments for a project on the Labor tab of the Plan form in the Projects hub, select the project and enter the summary hours in the ETC Hours field at the appropriate level of the plan work breakdown structure (WBS).

To enter and allocate summary planned hours:

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 summary hours.
3. On the Actions bar, click Check Out.
4. Click the Labor tab.
5. Expand the plan WBS to display the WBS element for which you want to enter summary hours.
6. Click the row to display the entry fields, enter the hours in the ETC Hours field, and tab or click out of the field.

   Vantagepoint allocates the hours to calendar periods for that assignment row, for each lower-level WBS row, and for the resource rows. Only calendar periods that include at least one work day that is later than the current date receive allocations.

   A short delay may occur while the allocation is carried out. If any WBS or resource rows are displayed below the row for which you entered the hours, they are collapsed. To see the allocated hours, expand the structure again.
