Enter Activity Duration Information

Activity durations are automatically calculated using the activity start and end dates and the project calendar. You can also manually enter activity duration information using the Status detail window.

To configure activity duration information:

1. Navigate to the Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select ﱆ Project or  Program, and then select a project or a program from the list.
   2. From the  Main Menu, select  Schedule, and then select Activities.
2. In the table, select the activity.
3. On the Layout menu, select  Activity Details, and then select the Status detail window.
4. Set the activity durations by completing the following fields:
   • Planned Duration: The expected amount of time required to complete the activity.
   • Remaining Duration: The total working time from the activity remaining start date to the remaining finish date.
   • At Completion Duration: The total working time from the activity's current start date to the current finish date.
5. All changes made to this page are saved automatically.

Tips

• The Actual Duration is automatically computed and cannot be manually adjusted. It is calculated as the total working time from the Start date to the current date for in-progress activities. For completed activities, it is calculated as the total working time from the activity Start date to the Finish date.
• If the activity's percent complete type is Duration and the activity is in progress, modifying the duration information will also change the Activity Percent Complete value.
