How do you go about linking multiple projects and resources

RE: Project

Hi Angus

Thanks for your question. The resource pool is one way you can link projects and resources. Create the resource pool file containing your resource information and saved it. Ideally this file will not have any tasks in it as they might cause confusion later when the projects are combined.

Leave the resource pool open and open your project file that needs resrouces. From the tools menu choose Resource Sharing > Share resources. Set the dialog to use resources from the pool. You can now assign resources from the pool to your project tasks.

You can repeat this process with other projects so that you get an over view of resource usage across a range of projects.

If you have any other questions regarding resource pools or project please do let us know.

Kind regards

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
