To use the Diary feature your manager or department or channel supervisor has to have planned the activities.  If you are not seeing your work items in the diary speak with your manager or department or channel supervisor for them to plan your work schedule.

This feature is brilliant and we worked really hard on this.  This actually shows you the priority of work you should be working on.  Keep in mind this is an estimated diary and you can if you want to do it your way go ahead and work on other activities. Nonetheless this actually shows you, by week, by month and by day what activity you should be working on.  Once more this is based on the planning algorithm of the company's priority level of activity, the planning status, your estimated assigned work hours and your validated start and validated end dates.

How to view the Diary.

If you follow the recommended planning schedule of the Diary, you will no longer have to ask which activity takes priority or which one you should do first.

If you follow the recommended planning schedule of the Resource planner you should hopefully not fall behind on being late.

The Resource and Diary planners are only as good as you use them and if you use the features properly and as they are meant to be used your work time efficieny will be better, your overdue/late activities will reduce dramatically and your being on time will improve.

Remember that you need to use the real time work hour allocation for all this to work.  Check the FAQ on how to use the feature or press Ctrl+F1 when in projeqtor to learn how to use Real time work hour allocation.  It is also known in ProjeQtor as TimeSheet.  This is very important to keep a smooth flow of your work.
