Update activities for other resources to record time for resources which do not have access to Team Member. A project-level administrative setting determines whether you can provide status for other resources.
Note: The fields displayed in your view are customized by your project manager. Not all fields mentioned here are available in your view and there may be additional fields in your view not mentioned in the procedure. Discuss with your manager the fields you need to update to provide status on your assignments.
To update an activity:
- Select an activity.
- On the Status tab of the progress panel, select Status Other Resources.
- In the Resources dialog box:
- Select a resource from the Resources list.
- Enter their status. For example, Time Spent, Time Left, Units Consumed or Units Left.
- Update their Finish By date, if necessary.
- Select Mark Activity Complete, if the resource has completed work on the activity.
- Select Save (Ctrl+Alt+Enter).
Tips
- The Status Other Resources option is only available on activities which represent activities in P6. It is not available on activities which represent resource assignments in P6.
- If Time Spent is disabled, either you did not select Start to indicate progress has begun or the activity is a milestone, you should enter progress in the timesheet view, or you should enter progress as additional time.
- As you make updates to your work units, your progress is shown in the progress indicator in the activity pane.
- You can mark an activity complete without indicating progress. When you mark an activity that has not been started as complete, the activity is automatically marked as started, the planned dates become the started and finished dates, and the time left becomes the time spent.
