Enter Tracking Information
Tracking information is not included in the baseline calculation. The progress of summary tasks is a function of its subtasks; therefore, you cannot add tracking data to summary tasks.
Once you receive information on the progress of a task, you can track this progress.
To track task progress:
1. Select the task to which you want to enter tracking data.
2. Open the Task Information dialog box. See the About Task Start Time, Finish Time, and Duration topic to read more about opening the Task Information dialog box.
3. Click the Tracking tab. By default, the first row should contain the actual start time with zero percent done.
4. Click the row below the previous entry.
5. Enter the date or select it from the calendar.
6. Enter the percentage of the task completed by the specified date. All dates and percents must be consistent. For example, you cannot have a record with 60% completed before a record with 40%completed. In addition, you cannot have historical data with the date Jan 5,2004 before the record with Dec 14,2003
7. Type in a comment to record actual details of work completed. You can now view the Tracking chart.
