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.

Hello Vladimir,

Could you explain what are the following fields and how to use them:

Productivity [Current]

Productivity [Start]

Also there is the field Productivity [Actual] which is calculated based on actual hours and volume of work; however it is available only in performance archive, could it be extended into the Gantt Charts tables (Activity Gantt for example)? The value would be the weighed average of all periods of the resource assignments.

Best regards,

Bogdan

In Spider Project it is possible to set periods with different productivity of assigned resources.

Productivity [Start] shows initial productivity,

Productivity [Current] shows productivity at the data date.

These fields are calculated together with cost calculation.

Actual productivity is calculated for each assignment and it can be different for different activities of the same type.

The reasons for productivity deviations must be studied.

I would not recommend to use past productivity automatically for future activities scheduling.
