Tasks on Work Plan Modal

How to associate tasks to a Work Plan?

1. On the tasks tab, click edit tasks.

   

2. Select the existing Tasks to add by clicking the + button on the task or click +Add Task to create a new Task to add to the Work Plan.

   The newly created task will be automatically assigned to the assignee of this work plan.

   

   The Tasks must be in the same Phase to be added to the Work Plan. If they are not, they will be moved here from another Phase.
   

3. Estimate hours can be entered on the Tasks, which can then be used as the total hours for the Work Plan. If Task Hours are not intended to be used for the Work Plan, this field can be left blank.

   Click Add on the top when you are done selecting the tasks.

   

4. The Tasks will be displayed under the Tasks tab in the Work Plan. If estimated hours have been entered for the Tasks, the total estimated hours for all tasks within this Work Plan will also be visible.

   

   A single task can be associated with multiple Work Plans, with different estimated hours entered for each Work Plan.
   

   • If the estimated hours entered in the Work Plan exceed the allocated hours for the associated Tasks, a red exclamation mark will appear to indicate the discrepancy.

     

   How to use Task hours for Work Plan Hours?

   1. When opening a work plan modal, whether new or existing, a checkbox for "Use Task Hours" appears on the Info and Tasks tab. Any tasks already added to the work plan are also displayed on the Tasks tab.

      

   2. Make sure there are hours entered for each Task in the hour input field (red box). Adjust the hours if needed.

      

      It is important to note that some Tasks may already display estimated hours (indicated by the blue box). These values represent the total estimated hours assigned to the Task. Since a single Task can be associated with multiple Work Plans, each Work Plan may allocate a different number of hours toward the same Task.
      

   3. To enable the use of the total task hours for this work plan, select the "Use Task Hours" checkbox.

      

   4. When Use Task Hours is selected, the Total Hours on the Work Plan automatically update to reflect the sum of the associated Task hours. A lock icon appears next to the Total Hours to indicate that the value is now controlled by the linked Tasks, rather than being manually editable. Additionally, a "Use Task Hours" label appears below the date fields to reinforce that the Work Plan is using the hours from its assigned Tasks.

      The hours per day and percentage workday fields will be updated automatically based on the total hours and number of workdays.

      

   5. To finalize the change on the Work Plan, click Done at the top, or click Create if setting up a new Work Plan.
