This window has 2 parts: the title bar and the Edit tab. 

• The title bar tells you where you are in AceProject. At the end of the title bar you will find the link to contextual help.  
• The Edit tab is a form that lets you define your parameters for the IN/OUT item you are about to close.
  • Since everything is automated, you can only choose your time type, your current week and enter a comment.
    • The "Start Time" field shows the date and time when you opened the IN/OUT item.
    • The "Estimated Hours" field shows the number of hours that is planned to accomplish the task.
    • The "Actual Hours" field shows the number of hours users entered on that task via the time sheet module.
    • The "Elapsed Hours" field shows the amount of time that has passed since the counter was started.
    • The "Remaining Hours" field corresponds to Estimated Hours minus Elapsed Hours. If there is a negative number, it means the counter has been active for a longer time than what was originally estimated.
    • The "Time Type" drop-down list lets you define the nature of the hours worked.
    • The "Current Week" field shows the week your time will be entered in.
    • The "Week" table shows how your time will be logged in the time sheet.
      • Your time can be edited manually only if you have the "Timesheet" time entry mode access right, or if you are an administrator.
    • The Comments field lets you add any additional information. Once you close your IN/OUT item, AceProject will automatically add the start and end times for the item in this field.
    • IMPORTANT: You cannot log more than 24 hours in one day. If you forget to close an IN/OUT item after 24 hours, the system will force you to delete it.
  • Click the "Close (OUT)" button to save the work item. It will add the new work item to your time sheet for the corresponding week.
  • Click "Delete" to cancel this time entry. This will stop the counter without adding a new work item to your time sheet.
  • Click Back" to cancel and return to the task window.

   

What are IN/OUT items for? 
IN/OUT items are used by each user to log his/her time automatically. When the IN/OUT module is closed, the elapsed hours are added to their time sheet for that task. For administrators, they can see which task each user is working on, in real time, under "Administration -> Time Reports -> All IN/OUT".
