Recording Work
The Allocated Work tab lists the elements to which your model Author ID has been allocated as a resource, where your Author ID is the same as:
- Your Enterprise Architect security user ID, if security has been enabled, or
- Your workstation login ID if security has not been enabled
For each element, the tab:
- In the left-hand panel lists the roles or tasks assigned to you as a resource on that element, for which the Complete % field value is less than 100
- In the right hand panel displays a Gantt chart showing your progress in performing each role or task
You can add further work items for an element through the Allocated Work tab; however, you cannot delete any records. A record is no longer listed when the Complete % field value is 100.
You or your supervisors can also add records through the Resource Allocation tab of the Project Management window.
