What I am trying to do and seem unable to though is to change resource type from Labour to Non-labour.
I firstly thought I could just change the type on the resource screen but it says I cant do that as they are allocated to the tasks.
So I copied the resources which need changing and on the new version changed the type as required. I then tried to carry out a global change to change them. Unfortunately it will not allow me within global change assign a non-labour resource!
Any ideas how I can get round this?
The problem I have is I am importing P3 files via Suretrak and in Suretrak there are no options to change resource type.
Thanks,

If you mean you want to assign resource B instead of resource A, it can easily be done by global change. If you want to change the type of resource A from say labour to material, you dont need global change. Change it in resource directory and it will be reflected globally.

Oliver,
That is what I am trying to do however after setting up the Non-Labour resource it will not allow me to select it in the Global Change command
I have not got an budget/actual figures related to the resources so I thought it would be quite easy but for some reason it doesnt like it!!

Matt,
Having looked closer at global change it appears you can only filter by resource type and you cant make a change between labour/nonlabour.
How about creating a new resource with the same name, tarif and calendar but as a non-labour resource. Then doing a global change to swap them over?
It may leave you having to input the budgeted/actual units though, not sure?

Matt,
Go on Global Change.
New.
(Select subject area) Activity Resource Assignments.
The rest is self explanatory.
A parameter of resource type will allow a change between labour, material etc.
A parameter for Resource NameID will allow a global change of resource. (Person specific)
