Linking resources

How do you link resources to several projects?

RE: Linking resources

Hi Steve

The quickest way to join projects together is to start from a blank project then from the Insert menu choose Project... and select the first of the projects you wish to link. Repeat, adding in the projects you wish to connect. Then you can drag between the Gantt bars on your master project linking tasks (remember you can switch from the default FS relationship by double clicking on the respecting link arrows)

Save your master project and you will be prompted to save each of the insterted projects. Changes to the inserted files or to the master project will affect any linked tasks in the related files.

I hope this is helpful - do let us know if you have any further questions.

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.
