linking tasks to resource availability

how do you link tasks to resource availability, ie if you have limited availability of resource how do you get the tasks to snap to the availability time

RE: linking tasks to resource availability

Hi Jason,

Thankyou for the question

The obvious way to do this would be to have automatic leveling turned on, with your tasks correctly prioritised. However, this would probably cause as many problems as its solves and is not recommended.

Most notably, it might delay or split other tasks in an attempt to resolve the conflict

Another method might involve writing a macro to automatically move a task to the next available slot in a resource's schedule.

MS Project tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Project 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Project 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
