I have used this overtime trick that you are talking about to solve the issue of seeing task in red for which actuals exceed the normal working hours in a day. So by example, I have put 7 hours in actual work and and 3.5 in overtime. But the task still shows over allocated and in red.

I would expect project to alert me of future over allocation, not past over allocation because the past, I know about it, I managed it and , anyway, it's too late to do anything about it!



How do we solve this?
