Real work allocation

Hello everyboby, I did a search but I did not find a topic releated to my issue.
Ok, I need to know if there is an option that "automaticaly" keep trace of the work made by resurces.
Exe: I have a miller, he works 8 hours per day. The project he works on last 16 hours. I would like not to update every single day if he has worked on the project but just if the work was done after 16hours. In the same time I would like to see the progress bar of the work constantily updated by the system ,basically after 8 hours the system should say that the project is 50% complete.

I hope to have been clear.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

basically after 8 hours the system should say that the project is 50% complete

may be an important hint for you:

There are two "progress" values:
1. progress = real work / planned work * 100
2. exepected = real work / valided work * 100

Difference is, one is planned progress and validated is progress on approved work/budget.

Regards,

Klaus
