Changing Working Time to Weekends
How can I set a new Calander for Working over the Weekends in Change Working Time?
Many Thanks

RE: Changing Working Time to Weekends
Hi Jen
Thank you for your question - you can create a new calendar by going to Tools > Change working time then click on the New button.
You get to choose whether the new calendar is based on an existing calendar (and will inherit that calendar's non working time settings) or is a new calendar.
Once you have made your choice you can customise the calendar by clicking on the column labels for Saturday and Sunday and marking the days as Non standard working time.
I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
Generic Terms for Resources
Thankyou, that was very helpful.
My other problem is that I have started to use generic terms for resources as groups of resources share particular jobs and move around those jobs. However Project will not let me use the generic term more than once for a specific task e.g. I may need 2 of 'Taxonomist A'. I have assigned this resource 600% as there are 6 Taxonomist A's. Is there any way around this?
Thnaks again,
Jen
RE: Generic Terms for Resources
Hi Jen
Thank you for your question - the ideal way would be to assign 200% of your resources to a task to indicate 2 of the 6 are working on an activity. That should leave the other 4 available for working taking place on the same day.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Andrew
