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.

I have a situation in P6 related to resource requirement/availability.
Till recently we have been using P3 for our stage of project where resources are in short supply and deliverable dates/Work Pack completion are resources dependent who operate on a 7/3 week cycle.
I have been defining engr/designer availability with holiday cycles. Activities are resourced hierarchically i.e engr1 and engr2 as resource availabilities and engr* as resource assignment in the activity.
I was looking at the same kind of solution in P6 either with resources or with roles!
Unfortunately P6 does not retain the concept of resource hierarchy.
Has anyone encountered this before & defining roles is the best answer to this.
