# Edit allocated efforts for tasks with actual hours

Edit allocated efforts for tasks which have partial actual efforts logged directly from the grid view. This keeps reported time accurate without rolling back time entries through other channels.

## Before you begin

Role required: it\_demand\_manager

## About this task

The total allocated hours for a task appear in the Task effort column of the grid view for the corresponding period. You can edit these values directly in the grid, including the assignments for which partial actual efforts have been logged.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Strategic Planning Workspace**.

2.  Select the Demands icon \[Omitted image "demands-icon.png"\].

3.  Open a demand from the **List** page.

4.  Select the **Resources** tab.

    The resource grid opens for the demand's timeline, grouped by **Primary Group**.

5.  Select the chevron icon \(\[Omitted image "rmw-chevron-image.png"\] Alt text: Chevron icon.\) to expand the resource view.

6.  Locate the row for the resource assignment you want to update.

7.  Select the cell for the required period in the **Task effort** column to change the efforts and enter the updated hours.


## Result

The allocated hours for the selected period are updated. If there are any actual efforts captured for the past fiscal periods, they won't be affected with this change.
