Creation of Exclusion Period

Spider Project scheduling - activities interrupting might be allowed. Click Interruptible on Initial Data page of Activity properties dialog box. During the scheduling process, an activity might be interrupted if there are not enough resources to continue it, or the same resource is needed for an activity with higher priority.

This allow us to interrupt other activities performance if using resource leveling in combination with interruptible activity parameter. The following two images shows two examples, plase take a look, maybe it can give you a clue on how to do it with your software.

Activity-Gantt-Activities-11-B-1-Exclusion-Resourcejpg-Page1  ... if only one activity restrict others

 Activity-Gantt-Activities-11-B-2-Exclusion-Resourcejpg-Page1  ... if other activities also restrict others

It is basic resource constraining, there is no chance 20,0000 activities will happen at the same time, of course the limit can be increased. The availability of the dummy resource is set to 20,000 ea and every restricting activity is assigned 20,000 ea making sure no other activity sharing 1 ea of the dummy will occur at the same time the restricting activity is sceduled. The activity splitting parameter will allow performance of activities sharing the same dummy to split if need be and not work during the time the restricting activity works.

Good luck.
