Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Can I tag a resource as equipment so that it doesn’t contribute to the worker-hour (work) calculation, but still can use load levelling and max units, as per work resources?

Sounds like no then. It’s not isolation that I’m after, but accurate worker-hour calculation together with load levelling and over-allocation notification. thanks for the reply.

Your options are Work or Material.

You can tag resources, say with a Group, to isolate if it is equipment or people, this may assist.
