Entering percentage onto resource sheet

Hi Emma

thank you for your interesting question. I can appreciate how this might be causing a problem.

You are right that the usage view lets you contour the assignment to reflect each resource. I could imagine one option being to assign both resources to the two month task and zeroing out the entries for the resource that moves off the task at the end of month one.

Another approach, given the length of the task is to split it into two separate months making it easier to manage the change in assignment.

You may find double clicking on the task name helpful in resource usage as it lets you set the units of assignment for this task and resource. Again this could be handy if the task were split into two separate activities.

Lastly on also the resource usage view you might add in (right click on the table on the right side of the view and choose Detail Styles and from the dialogue box select Percent Allocation which shows you the calculated assignement percentage for this task. It is a calculated field, rather than an entry field.

Let me know how you get on and we can explore this further.


Kind regards,
Andrew
