Working with Updating Progress in a Browser Running P6

To determine how a project is performing and what remains to be done, update its progress. Updating a project to reflect the actual work performed to date can be achieved using any of the following methods:

Manually record progress: Record progress for individual activities or resources by entering status data from each member of the team. You can update progress to units and costs manually in the financial period columns in the activities grid.
Note: While an activity does not have a labor or non-labor resource assigned, you can update the relevant resource type's costs and units in the financial period columns in the activity grid. If a labor or non-labor resource is assigned to an activity, you cannot update the relevant resource type's units and costs at the activity level. Instead update the units and costs for the resource in the Assignments detail window.
Automatically calculate progress: For individual activities, resources, and expenses, use the convenient Auto-Compute Actuals feature to estimate work progress based on the schedule plan. Then, run the Apply Actuals feature. Using these features, the application calculates and applies the expected progress from the previous data date to the new data date you specify. To regularly update a project so that it reflects current actual and remaining values, run the Apply Actuals process using the Scheduled Services page.
