You can modify time values for each activity in an operation associated with a process in the Process Planning or Work Instructions Authoring page.

Navigate to work package planning tasks, and then navigate to the Process Planning or Work Instructions Authoring page.
In the Process tab or panel, select a process or operation, and in the page toolbar, click Show Time Management .
The Time Management panel replaces the Viewer panel and displays a list of activities associated with the process and its associated operations, or the selected operation.
- Select an activity in the Time Management panel.
The selected activity synchronizes with its associated process or operation.
Review the selected operation to verify whether the time values are accurate based on the Time Unit measurement selection displayed in the upper-right corner of the page.
(Optional) If you are working in the Work Instructions Authoring page, in the Editor panel, modify operation work instructions associated with the activity.
(Optional) Correct the time values in the editable columns in the Time Management panel by double-clicking the existing values and typing new values.
Tip Editable columns include:
Activity Unit Time (the time required to complete a single instance of an activity, such as the time to walk one meter). Frequency (the number of times to perform the activity).Note Activity Work Time is the calculated total time to perform a specific activity, and is not editable. Activity Work Time = Activity Unit Time * Frequency.
