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.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to add resources to an activity, where the hours assigned to the resource are less than the duration of the activity?

At the moment, my activity has 114d duration, though when i add my resources they only add up to 25d duration...and this then affect the activity duration. Ie, activity duration changes from 114d to 25d..

Does anyone know how to set up the resources so they dont affect the activity duration??

I have also tried adding another resource which is equal to the activity duration, in this case 114d...though it screws up my Budgeted Labour Units!!

can anyone help me?
Thanks
Ben Hall

Change the duration type to fixed duration and units.

Try switching off ’DRIVE ACTIVITY DATES’at the resource assignment level
