| 1hr task spreading itself across the entire week Posted: 12 May 2004 03:25 AM PDT "Dale Howard [MVP]" <dale(dot)howard(at)msprojectexperts(dot)com> wrote in message news:<phx.gbl>... Dale, Hi, thanks for your reply I checked, and it is set up as a recurring task with a 1hr duration every Tuesday. I created it using insert recurring task. I wonder if I have altered something elsewhere - would levelling make this happen, would changing the task type to fixed units and effort driven on other tasks make this happen. Now that this has happened, how can I change it so that it goes back to being just 1hr on a Tuesday? Many thanks lynne |

| Posted: 11 May 2004 11:31 PM PDT What do you mean by saying the "purchase software" task has a fixed duration of 20 days? Are you saying that once it is ordered you expect it will be delivered in 20 days? I tend to like the idea that the task is limited to the actual physical work. If it takes 3 hours to fill out the purchase order and get it signed then call the software vendor and place the order, then you wait 3 weeks for delivery and then you'll install it, the "order software" task is not 21 days. The order task is 3 hours in duration followed by a 21 day lag time waiting for delivery and then the installation task. So the project plan would show "order" with a duration of 3 hours linked FS to "install" and a 21 days lag time in the link to position the install 3 weeks after the order is placed. -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "beth" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... of 20d, and other tasks after it are dependent on ithe software, do i assume that this software will be bought in batches say 2 days into the duration so that work can start off on the succeding tasks?is this assumption ideal ideal? cause i cant think of another way out to avoid that long period of (20d) wait. |

| Resourse units keep changing - MSP2003 Posted: 11 May 2004 02:42 PM PDT Actually people can be more than 100%. If I have 5 people on the custodial staff and their skills are essentially interchangeable, I can show them in my resource list as a single entry with a max allocation of 500%. If it's assigned to a task at 200% that means I have two custodians working together on the task. That's why you can't tell project to never exceed 100%. As to why your assignment seems to be locked in and MSP won't let you change the 200% to 100% that's a bit of a puzzle. Have you posted any actual progress to the task? -- Steve House [MVP] MS Project Trainer/Consultant Visit http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm for the FAQs "Bryan" <com> wrote in message news:c7rhba$atr$news.aol.com... try |
| Posted: 11 May 2004 01:24 PM PDT Gérard, Thanks for your reply. I am using 2002 std. You are correct for the new projects. However, For the old projects, they DO NOT appear with the view which was active when I saved them. I save in the resource sheet view. Close file. Open file. The file opens in resource sheet view momentarily then goes to gantt chart view. Any idea why. The reason I want to set some files up to open in this view is that I am using resource pools. Any ideas to correct this would be appreciated. Cheryl active when you Sheet. I flashes |
| Posted: 10 May 2004 10:40 PM PDT Hi Gerard I always read your responses on the site. You have taught me a lot about MS Project. Much appreciated. Re this query- I have created a new calendar (copy of standard) and based specific resources on the new calendar. The Base Calendar report then displays a calendar per page,as you say. However I can't see information about a particular resource in the view/report. I can use the View/ Calendar - which shows the tasks and milestones in a month view, but doesn't indicate which days the resource is unavailable. That view would be ideal. I have a respool of about 70 - and leave/ sick days / training is recorded by team leaders. I want the team leaders to ensure the details in the read- only respool are correct, I need a way of showing / displaying individual resource calendars to enable team leaders and the project office to know if the details they have recorded are correct, hopefully without repeated separate interrogations of the Respool. Would appreciate further guidance. Kind Regards..........Pratta resource, yes you can Base Calendar . Each Standard calendar with dans le message de for view |
| Summary Task Slack Discrepancy Posted: 10 May 2004 09:36 AM PDT Hi Mam That is exactely whats happening, it's good to know that it's supposed to do that, what I can't figure out is why. The second task is dependent on the first and neither of them have any slack so why does the summary task show it as having a days slack? If you could shine a little light on it for me it would help greatly Cheers, Chris "MAM" <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... between them: tasks start a day later or earlier from the other there will be a day slack in the summary task) |
