Fill Hours or Amounts Across Periods

Use the Fill feature to spread hours or amounts across each period in the Start/End date range. The hours or amounts are based on a value entered for one business day that is then multiplied by the number of working days for the specified period. Vision calculates and spreads the number of hours or amount across the individual cells included within the specified date range.

To fill hours or amounts across periods, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Vision Navigation menu, click Planning > Project Planning.
  2. Open a plan record.
  3. Click the Labor, Expenses, or Consultants tab.
  4. Select the date on which you will begin to spread hours or costs. On the Labor grid, right-click a Planned Hours cell; on the Expenses grid or Consultants grid, right-click a Planned Cost cell.  
  5. Click Fill.

    The Fill dialog box displays. The From: field in the Period Range automatically displays the date on which you will begin to spread costs.

  6. Use the drop-down list in the To: field to select the date on which to stop spreading costs.
  7. Enter the number of hours or the amount per business day to fill in the selected periods and click OK.
