V5 : Resource Distribution

Thanks for your help

The best way to distribute multiple effort on one activity is to make your activity type (Resource dependant) and create a special calendar to this resource. Then assign the calendar to the resource. Then assign him to the activity with the total units. By the way there is no way to get 2 figures after decimal but Edit _ User preferences.

Check project options, it has a check box for allowing or dis-allowing this feature.



Open your project



Go to Enterprise



select Projects



Select Resources, the tab is on the top left hand side.

Is this suppose to work in any version of P3E? I can not add multiple occurrences of the same resource.



Thanks,

Brent

The best solution for distributing variable effort on an activity is to multiple assign the resource, select a start and finish date for the resource and assign the number of days for the period.



e.g.

Resource 1 starts 1st jan finishes end jan 20 man days

resource i starts 1st feb finishes end Feb 15 man days



etc etc

It works OK for me



You can add the start and finish dates to the resource window, right click on one of the title fields at the top and select start and finish fields.

As I said, Resource Curves are associated with resources, not activities

Sorry Steven, With that I will not know what is my total resource requirement for a particular resource.

Perhaps, you have misunderstood. You can use the same resource multiple times on an activity. Specify the duration and the lag (lead) from the start of an activity.

Steven, I could copy an exitsting res curve and modify according to the requirement.



Do you know, how to add resource curve to activity column? or how to use resource curve field in global change to assign resorce curve in faster way./

Unless your activity exactly equates to that which you can generate using a resource curve then you will not achieve your desired result.

Resource curves are associated with resources, not activities.

Use a new resource for each period, using lags
