Is a day the user's or the project's?


Mark Ingebretson (58515236) | asked Nov 25 '09, 8:23 a.m.
If a work item's estimate is set to one day, is the number of hours
actually stored based on the owner's work hours per day value, or the
project's?

We have an example where the query results view shows estimate values
converted to hours based on the project schedule, not the owner's, so
the query view is incorrect.

Is a workaround for this to have users with work day hours not matching
the project's to enter all their estimates in hours only, and not days?

Thanks!

Hi Mark

Not quite sure - but you should see an option to display this in hours (not days) - this should give you an idea of what RTC thinks it is.

And of course I can't find the setting where you change this display! I suspect it is in the process config - just can't find it at the moment.

Thanks, but so far I haven't found that setting, either.

It's in v2.0.0.2 in the Process Configuration under Configuration->Planning->General.

There should be a checkbox titled "Display Estimates in hours".
