entering time

[jacobite]

Hi

I would like to enter project time spent on various tasks - I guessed I
would add this into 'Actual Time' - but this seems to effect the cost column.

I assumed that an changes in the 'Actual Time' column would only effect an
'Actual Cost' column - is there any way I can stop the Cost column from being
effected by Actual Work entry?

cheers

jacobite,
Like the Start and Finish fields, the Cost field displays dynamic data
that responds to what actually happens. What you want is the Baseline
Cost field. Baseline fields capture dynamic fields at a point in time -
normally just before a project starts. This allows a comparison of
schedule performance against the original baseline.

Hope this helps.
