Tracking labor, quantities, and costs directly in your schedule helps you spot overloads, bottlenecks, and budget issues in real time. InTakt offers three dedicated views—Workforce, Quantity, and Cost—each with dynamic visual feedback and flexible inputs.
🧑🔧 Setting Workforce per Task

- Instantly visualize how much work is planned or completed per day
💰 Cost Loading

🔍 View Mode: Cost
- Displays total and daily costs per task
- Includes cost histogram to visualize budget loading
🧠 Tips & Best Practices
