Working on a conceptual construction schedule where I have the total hours and have guessed at crew sizes for the various crafts. Right now, to get durations I have to change the default remaining units per time by multiplying it by the assumed crew size. What I would like to do is have P6 do this for me, but I cannot get Global Change to cooperate. I want to have an 'Activity Resource Assignment' UDF (crew size) multiply it by the default day in hours/day to get the remaining units/day and do it all in the 'Resources tab'. It seems simple enough, so I am overlooking something.
I expect to go through this exercise several times with different days and crew sizes, so anything to minimize the math will be beneficial. I would like to be able to easily change the variable - crew size - for the various crafts using the 'resources tab' and see the results graphically (in P6).
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.
