Clicking on any of the tasks in your project plan will pop up the task detail screen where you can edit the information associated with that task. That screen is similar to the one shown below.
Start/Finish Dates. You can fill in both start and finish dates for every task, but that's not a requirement in the system. The down arrow lets you pick those dates from a calendar if you need to.
Current/Baseline Dates. The system lets you keep track of current due dates as well as your original "baseline" estimate if you would like. All of BigTime's triggers, screens and reports use the "current" dates unless otherwise noted.
Percent Complete. Each task can be monitored and a percent complete field exists for your staff to indicate how close they are to completing it. When a user checks off a task as "complete" and saves it, the percent complete field on that task is set to 100% automatically.
Duration (Estimated Hours). A task's duration is entered as an hourly number in the "estimated" hours field.
