In order to take advantage of the "estimated time" and
"progress" features all todo items must be appended with a value in
square brackets. This value indicates the alloted, or estimated
time for that individual task. eg. "Create new design prototype
for client. [12]" would indicate that this todo is estimated
to take 12 hours to complete. bcToolkit then uses this value to
fill out the estimated column, as well as the progress so far
field.
bcToolkit can add these estimated values onto your
to-dos for you if you wish! Simply add your to-dos to Basecamp and
then login to bcToolkit. Use the "Time by Project" report and enter
your estimated times for the to-dos. Once you're happy, simply
click Update Records and your Basecamp account will be updated,
it's as easy as that.
