Recurring Tasks

We are entering weekly meetings as a recurring task but it seems you have to add resources to each meeting week by week. Is there a way to allocate resources to a recurring task so they are linked to each event?

RE: Recurring Tasks

Hi Joanne

Thank you for your question - you would need to add the resources manually. The recurring task tool creates the events rather the assignments.

I'm sorry that I can't be of more help. Do let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
e. Click OK to apply your changes
