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:

While creating resource database (Resources Window), you encounterd by two columns. One is Units/Time another is Max. Units/Time. My question is that what's the difference between these two? And also what is the use of Max Units/Time. Like if Default Units/Time is 8h/d and Max Units/Time is 10h/d. What is the difference between these two. When'll we use Max Units/Time (i.e. 10h/d).

Hi Asim

The  Default Units/Time of a resource (for example 8h/d) is to specify rate of work hours for one number of resource available while Max Units/Time  is used to indicate the maximum availability of that resource for e.g., multiple number of people available to do that work.  

For example, Max Units/Time of a resource can be 40h/d if you have 5 numbers of that resource available in your enterprise while its default Units/Time is 8h/day.
