Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Hemanth,

Yes you can input a custom resource curve against every individual resource on every individual task. All you need do is go into the Task Usage or Resource Usage View. Make sure that the right-hand side of the screen is showing WORK, then input the daily hours that you expect the resource to work. Of course, you must have allocated a resource to the task in the first place

I will say, though, that the whole exercise is nearly a complete waste of time. As soon as you input ACTUALS, the system will automatically re-schedule the profile according to the Task Type(Fixed Work, Fixed Duration or Fixed Units) and the amount of work previously done.

James.
