HI Andrew Urgent! Recurring Tasks
Hi Andrew,
I am trying to set up a recurring task that has two sub tasks. The Sub tasks are a 1 hour meeting and 3 hour prep, when I set it up and click away from it, Project changes the times I have typed into duration to more than 3/1 hours. I don't understand why project keeps changing what i have typed in?
Also when i allocate a resource to the task Project shows they are doing 8 hours instead of 3/1 hours per recurring task. I'm Stuck!!
Please help,
Thanks
RE: HI Andrew Urgent! Recurring Tasks
Hi Natalie
Thank you for your question. One thing to bear in mind is that the recurring task feature is a very simple tool to save you having to create lots of repetetive tasks by hand.
You might find it works better if you create two independent recurring tasks - one for the preparation, the other for the meeting.
Also you will need ot assign resources to the the sub tasks (rather than the rolled up tasks summaries). You may find the assign resources button on the resources ribbon useful as it allows you to assign a resource to more than one task at a time.
Let me know how you get on and if this resolves the problems you have encountered.
Kind regards,
Andrew
