2. Insert columns:
   • Effort Driven
   • Task Type
   • Work low (current schedule)
   • Work base (current schedule)
   • Work high (current schedule)
3. Select the Task type: fixed units, fixed duration, or fixed work. You may also select units in task tab. The same information can be defined using Advanced tab of task information dialog.
4. Check the Effort driven flag if the task is effort driven (default value). Effort driven flag can be defined using Advanced tab of task information dialog.
5. Enter low, base, and high work for the selected task. Units for work are defined in the Tools > Options> Duration tab. Duration and units for the task will be calculated based on task type.
