HumbleChief Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Does time tracker transfer time for a save as? Seems to do so as I just just 'saved as' a file and it showed times from previous versions instead of 0 time from the save as time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 Thrashing here a bit trying to understand. Let's say I start with an as built plan. 'Save As' As built 2. 'Save As' As Built 3. Then 'Save As' Proposed 1, 'Save As Proposed 2 and so on. It seems that by the time I get to Proposed 6, which is where I am now, it is adding all the time for all the versions. Is this how it works?

HumbleChief Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 The help file says that Time Tracker logs times for each plan and layout file separately but when I do a 'Save As' , creating another plan file, Time Tracker carries over the time from previous plan versions as if it is keeping track of time for the project and not just a single file. Here's 2 pics. One is the original file showing time back to Feb 8th. I do a quick Save As and it's showing this new file back to Feb 8th. as if it's saving time log for the project not an individual file? Not getting it.

robdyck Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Time tracker starts from zero for a template plan but is cumulative for 'save as'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure does behave that way but the help file doesn't suggest that. I prefer it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Save As doesn’t start a new plan. It just saves the same plan under a new name. To start fresh, either Save As Template or Save As and delete all the old Time Tracker entries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer it this way. The Help Files are simply stating that Plan and Layout files are tracked independently of each other. Has nothing to do with Save As. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
