For any resource, you can use the auto-compute actuals feature to automatically calculate actual progress according to the project plan or you can manually record progress data collected from resources via other means.
- Choose Enterprise, Resources and display the Details tabs.
- Select the resource whose reporting method you want to specify.
- Click the Details tab, then mark the Auto Compute Actuals checkbox. Based on the assignment planned units and the activity's percent complete, resource actual units and remaining units are automatically calculated when Apply Actuals is run.
