Resource Names and Automatic Capitalisation

C
Christine P 👤 Member for 17 years 1 month

Hi

I'm typing in resource names in the "Resource Names" column, and the odd one is automatically capitalising the first two letters and I don't want it to (I think this is because I may have typed the name in incorrectly at some point, pressed return and then it's saved and now choses the wrong one for autocomplete).

Headings / Non-Summary tasks without dates / durations etc

C
Christine P 👤 Member for 17 years 1 month

Hi

Is it posible in MSP2013 to make a plain old heading?

I just want a title (not header) above sections of some of my tasks, I don't want a date or duration or anything assigned to them, just a plain old title at certain sections. 

The only thing I've found of help on the internet is to summarise them in a hammock bar.  But that will make my Gantt chart untiday as I dont want hammocks everywhere. 

I know it was do-able in Asta Powerproject, is it possible in MSP please?

Cost Resources

Dear Planners,

I have a schedule which I need to assign total cost of salaries (staff salaries), but the problem I am facing is that:

1- In January I have total amount $9000 salaries

2- In february I have total amount $ 9000 salaries

3- In March I have total amount $ 14000

4- In April I have total amount $ 16000

and the tasks which I need to assign cost resources are overlapped?

Best,

Moutaz

Updating / rescheduling project - MSP 2013

C
Christine P 👤 Member for 17 years 1 month

HELP!

Im four days into my new job and almost done creating a finishes programmes for some refurbishment works on some houses.

Ive put some bare bones together and been to site, made my notes, come back the office to update the project and see what I can juggle about.

In the previous version (2007 I think) if a future activity was due to start, and I made a start on it, when I hit update project, it  would bring the remainder of the task forward to the progress line.

Calenders

Hi all,

 

I´m sitting on a concern that I hope you can help me with.

 

I have diffrent work packages that need diffrent calenders. I creat the calenders of the various jobs that exist.

What happens is that if I plan more then 8 hours a day so shortened duration down and make my activity shorter. I want to add 10 days, but the pace of work at 12 hours a day.

 

How can I do this?

 

Greatful for a quick reply

 

Regards

 

Dan
