(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.
All,
Is it possible to apply shift patterns to a resource?
You can apply a calendar to a particular resource, for any given activity, but is there the ability to then also apply a shift.
We are using 24 hour working calendars along with Shift calendars and I wondered if you could assign both to a resource in a given activity.

Hi
I am using MSP 2013 and I for each job i have a different supervisor - updated in text1. now i need to know in my shut schedule, during the execution, the break down of resource assignments for each supervisor. in other words i need to group resource assignments per each supervisor.
pitty is resource assignment does not let filtering / grouping on task fields and when i use task assignments to filter for resource names, i its completely meaningless as it creates a group for each resource allocation combilation ... ie. groups for "FT", another for "FT[2],TA".
am i missing anything here? some help would be appreciated.
Regards,
AK

Another use of shifts is when the whole crew changes depending on the season.
It is not uncommon for equipment used during winter be different to equipment used during the summer for the same activity, by the same token not only the equipment changes but the whole crew productivity.
Better schedule models will automatically select the right crew when the activity switches from one season to another and will adjust activity duration according to differences in productivity.
Shift Work is not difficult, only you need to know are:
I use Spider Project a software that is capable of both.
We use the concept of Teams for when resources must work together, for meeting resources. If resources can work independently of one another just make them members of a single resource team. In this way on a single activity you can model as many different teams you need.
You assign a calendar to the activity that will include all work time for which resources are allowed to work, usually a 24/7 calendar will do it unless there are certain hours the resources might be available but you do not want them to work on the activity. Say a resource is available on a second shift seven days a week but it is a requirement that on Mondays no work is allowed on second shift. Therefore the activity calendar will exclude second shift on Monday and the resource will be available to do work at another activity on Mondays.
The following example is the minimum expression of such scenario that many so called advanced software cannot tackle. Please don't take it for granted what I say, try it by yourself.
It would help if you could tell us what software you are using?
