| Keyword | booking (task) List Attribute |
| Purpose | The booking attribute can be used to report actually completed work. A task with bookings must be scheduled in Bookings are only valid in the scenario they have been defined in. They will in general not be passed to any other scenario. If you have defined a tracking scenario, the bookings of this scenario will be passed to all the derived scenarios of the tracking scenario. The sloppy attribute can be used when you want to skip non-working time or other allocations automatically. If it's not given, all bookings must only cover working time for the resource. The booking attributes is designed to capture the exact amount of completed work. This attribute is not really intended to specify completed effort by hand. Usually, booking statements are generated by export reports. The sloppy and overtime attributes are only kludge for users who want to write them manually. Bookings can be used to report already completed work by specifying the exact time intervals a certain resource has worked on this task. Bookings can be defined in the task or resource context. If you move tasks around very often, put your bookings in the task context. |
