Task Entry and Editing

Task Entry - A task can be inserted at any vacant location in the grid by highlighting or clicking the location, and then clicking the +T button at the top of the screen. A task can be deleted by highlighting (clicking ) the task and clicking the "-T" button at the top of the screen.

Dates - Clicking the Start Date or Start Time Field will pull up a mini-calendar or menu from which you can set the Start Date and Time for a Task. Similarly the End Date and Time set those values for the task. Note that if
you edit the End Date or time for a Task, the duration field (further below) will be automatically recalculated. Duration: Enter duration for a task in the indicated field. The "d" or "h" next to the field indicates the units in use; days or hours. To change units just include an H or D at the end of the field. I.E. if the Units are (d)ays, enter 3h to enter a 3-hour duration. For days or hours fractions may be entered; the program operates with a resolution of 15-minute intervals. I.E. 2.5 H is an acceptable entry.

When the duration of a task is edited, the End Date and Time are automatically recalculated.
