  1. Set up Resources


📆 Tracking Actual Manpower

For Completed Tasks (Past Days)

  1. Open Daily Report

    • Click the daily report icon for a past day.

    • Auto-assigned manpower appears based on planned tasks.

  2. Edit Actual Numbers

    • Click Edit and adjust actual manpower per resource.

    • The total at the bottom updates automatically.

🔸 Manpower is tracked per day and resource type (connected to expense types), not per task. Currently (23.04.2025) it is not possible to track resources on a per task basis.


🔜 For Future Tasks (Upcoming Days)

  1. Bulk-Edit via Plan View

    • Select a date column, then Edit Selected Tasks.

    • Activate Edit Resources, adjust actual manpower.

  2. Changes Update All Related Tasks

    • Editing a resource updates it for all tasks of that type on that day.


📊 In the weekplan

  1. See the Comparison in the weekplan under the "personnel" column

    • Right number = originally set on Resource page
