- [Bonnie] Hi, I'm Bonnie Biafore. … You can control how Project updates tasks … and assignments in several ways. … All you have to do is choose … the method that fits your situation. … We're going to start by heading over to the file tab, … and then choosing options. … In the Project options dialogue box, … I'm going to head to the schedule section, … and scroll down until I see … calculation options for this project. … The first checkbox in this section is … updating task status updates resource status, … and it's turned on by default. … Now really, when this is turned on, … it actually goes in two directions. … If you update the task status, … it will roll that information down to the assignment, … so it updates resource status. … But, if you add information at the resource level, … it will roll up to the task. … So really, this is the way we want it to work. … So I'm going to click OK, … and keep that turned on. … Now, let's make some changes to the view. … The first thing I want to do is switch to task usage. …
