Keyword | remaining

Purpose

The remaining effort for the task. This value is ignored if there are bookings for the resource that overlap with the time sheet period. If there are no bookings, the value is compared with the effort specification of the task. If there a mismatch between the accumulated effort specified with bookings, work and remaining on one side and the specified effort on the other, a warning is generated.

This attribute can only be used with tasks that are effort based. Duration based tasks need to have an end attribute.

Syntax | `remaining <value> (min | h | d | w | m | y)`
Arguments | value | A floating point or integer number
min | minutes
h | hours
d | days
w | weeks
m | months
y | years
