(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,

 there are few simple steps to laod resources for activities in P6.

first step is u have to define resources if u don't have any. go to Enterprises >Resources >add

u can add Labour / non labour / Material by choosing in Resource type column.

then go to the activities. select particular activity & in activity form say add resource, pop comes up where u can select one r multiple resources. then u can specify how many per duration needed or budgeted resources per activity. by default it will linearly distributed for the assigned duration.pls see below

Impossible, the only level you can assign resources is activity. To confirm that you can go to ressource assignment view, and you will figure out that the only assignment availbale is at activity level.

But to resolve your issue you should know that you can assign resource to Macr/Master activity as LOE or WBS Summary. So if your WBS is well defined or if your network logic is good, this is for sure your only & best solution.

Hope to answer,

The client version of P6 may only assign resources to activities.
