  1. Set up Resources


📆 Tracking Actual Manpower

For Completed Tasks (Past Days)

  1. Open Daily Report

    • Auto-assigned manpower appears based on planned tasks.

  2. Edit Actual Numbers

    • Click Edit and adjust actual manpower per resource.

  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.
