Actual completes past scheduled day

[JLDlll]

My schedule is set for 8:00 am to 5:00 pm and I had a job that started at
4:50 pm and ended at 5:10 pm but it only showed an actual duration of 10
minutes instead of 20 minutes. How do I log actuals after the scheduled end
of the day.

See the replies to your other posting. Your workday is 8am to 5pm. The
only work that is counted towards duration is work done between those hours.
Work after 5pm does not count for duration even though it DOES count for
work. It is overtime work which is explicitly excluded for all duration
measurments. This is a consequence of the formal definition of duration
itself and cannot be changed. You can show actuals in the tracking table
but OT does not appear in the Gantt chart.

Display the tracking table. Enter the actual start and actual finish date
and time. Switch to resource usage view. Display the Actual Overtime row.
The add the amount of the work that was done after 5pm in actual overtime.
