Hi, TS. The "Time Required" fields were, in my opinion, created to hold hours not money. 65,536 hours is a very large project, according to my calculations it could hold all of the tasks for a project of eight people working 40 hours a week 50 weeks a year for about four years.
You should probably send an email to MLO support asking them to expand the field, possibly changing it from integer to floating point to accommodate cents or whatever. I think that would be a useful suggestion. However, it takes a while for feature updates to make it through the development/test/beta cycle, so you should look for a workaround to use in the interim. For example, if most of the costs are manpower, you could track the hours and convert to money later. Or, you could set a new convention that a "1" in the time required field means 10 currency units, such as £10 or $10 €10? -Dwight On Wednesday, January 2, 2019 at 7:24:21 AM UTC-5, TS OGrady wrote: > > I have been using the 'Time Required Max and Min' as a way to tally up > costs for projects.
