Tasks and Amount Lines

People Planner can display various types of lines.

The most common are task lines related to time, but all task lines can be displayed, such as summary lines, absences, and milestones. One attribute that these line types have in common is that all bookings that you enter on these lines are considered to be in hours.

Bookings made on an amount line are considered to be a monetary amount, rather than a number for hours. The difference between amount lines and tasks is that the bookings on an amount line are considered an amount of something, usually a monetary amount.

The People Planner Web Components displays hour and amount bookings in the same way, so you must look at the type of the budget line to know which one you are working with.

Note: The Number of decimals shown on amount values setting in the Admin Tool at Settings » System Settings » General UI controls the number of decimal places that are displayed for amount values in the Web Components.

Restrictions on bookings on amount lines are that:

• You cannot use dynamic booking on an amount line.
• You cannot multi-cell-select both the booking cells of tasks and amount lines and then enter a number. This is because choosing both tasks and amount lines causes an ambiguity about whether the entered number is in hours or a monetary amount.
