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.

many of the activities in my plan have resources added to them.  Now have created a new resource and i want to add this to every activity as 1 per unit time.

 

Is there any way to do this in one go without having to add it individually to all activities

Hi

I do not think Global Change could help !!!!

 

Best would be Import Export using SDK

 

It looks like there is one more way---- I found this in the P6/P5 forum topic: P6 Tips & Tricks.....

"it is easier to first select all the activities (using shifht or ctrl) and then select the resource from the resource assignment window...
p.s the select bottom will be disabled when choosing more than one activity, hence, press on the resource icon on the right menu
same for activity codes, roles etc...."

 

Eric has already mentioned...but I didnt see

 

Best Regards

Hello, Sajid!

Select the FIRST activity you want to add the new resource to.

From the RESOURCE tab, click the ADD RESOURCE button to open the ASSIGN RESOURCES dialog box.

Go back to your list of activities and select the multiple activities (Shift-click or CTRL-click) that you want to add the new resource to.

Go back to the ASSIGN RESOURCES dialog box and select the new resource you want to add to all the selected activities.

Click the ASSIGN button (Green +).

The new resource should be assigned to all the activities you have selected.

 (NOT sure about the 1 per unit time, though...)

ENJOY!

Eric
