Timephased

A timephased attribute (or field) is used to store information whose value can change over time. There are several types of timephased attributes: Timephased - Currency, Timephased - FTE, Timephased - Hours, Timephased - Nonlabor, and Timephased - Units. Some types of timephased fields include Labor Cost and Work Remaining TPA.

Adding a timephased attribute

Add a new timephased attribute. From the Type drop-down, select Timephased - CURRENCY, Timephased - FTE, Timephased - NonLabor, or Timephased - UNITS. If you select Timephased - FTE or Timephased - UNITS, you can assign rates to the attribute. If you select Timephased - FTE, you can use it with a labor attribute map.
