Time tracking includes all the actual
hours (regular, overtime, and double overtime) that are entered or imported for visibility
in the project and production schedules. You can define the settings that control adding and
modifying time-tracking records in the Time Tracking Settings dialog box.
There are many fields that you can use to identify what the employee was working on.
The time-tracking settings can be adjusted to make as many of them available as you
prefer.
The regular and overtime hours worked on a project can be shown on the Gantt
Chart view in the Project
Schedule dialog box and in the Production Schedule dialog box. Tasks where the percentage of planned hours worked is greater than
the percent complete are highlighted on the Gantt Chart and the schedule
reports.
