This section shows the Actions available in the Job Progress workspace.

| Field | Description |

| Submit Planning Budget
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Submit Budget” in the window Job Budgets.
|
| Approve Planning Budget
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Approve Budget” in the window Job Budgets. However, if a new estimate date has been entered in the field “Date” in the card part of the window, a progress history entry will be made for all planning budget lines. The entry will contain the information specified in the island Progress. A similar progress history entry is created for the job. If the estimate required to complete a given task has been specified as “0,” the line will automatically be marked as “Completed” when you select this action. If the estimate date is after the planned ending date of a line marked for automatic allocation in the window Job Planning, an error message is shown, unless the estimated time to completion on the line in question is 0.
When the progress has been approved, the content of this window appears as read-only and shows the latest approved figures in the table part.

| Reopen Planning Budget
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Reopen Budget” in the window Job Budgets.
|
| New Progress Evaluation
|
This action is used for entering a date and remark and creating a new job progress estimate. It acts as a supplement to the existing functionality of entering the date and remarks in the last line of the History island. This action is mostly relevant in the workspace client where it will prompt the user to enter the date and remarks.
|
| Calculate Pending Registrations
|
The action has the same behavior as selecting the existing Pending Registrations field, and it calculates the number of hours and cost that are submitted but yet to be approved.
|
| Copy Budget From Template
|
This action copies the budget from the template job.
|
| Update ETC from People Planner
|
When invoked, the values in the Estimate to Completion column of the table part will be updated with allocated hours from People Planner.
When using this action, an estimate date must be filled in, the activity type shown must be Time and the unit of measure selected must be Hours.
The action is only available if add-ons for People Planner and Custom Actions are installed and the Enable Custom People Planner Actions system parameter is set to True.
