TPAssist Tips: Setting Task "Work" (Effort)


Did you know the ability to capture "Work" or effort as part of the new Financial Capability is enabled by default when you turn-on Financial Capabilities. This capability will automatically assume "Work" is the same as the current duration of the task. You can customise the work of a topic quite simply by using the TPAssist Journal tab and then clicking on the value next to Work. You can revert back to the automated association to duration by double-clicking on the topic.
