Hello
I started using primavera 2 weeks ago and i am supposed to convert an .MPP file to Primavera 6.(I cant just import it because while trying to import MS Project gives an error saying "Microsoft Project does not support saving projects into ODBC, MPD or MDB formats.")
While it was possible to assign a resource at WBS level using MS Project, i cant do that in Primavera. Is there a way to assign resources at WBS level ?
What i am trying to do is:
WBS 1
Activity 1
Activity 2
Activity 3
Activity 4
All of those activities use the same resource(which is a crane for this case). They start and end at different times but most of the time activity dates overlap each other. If i assign the resource to them individually i will get a far more budgeted labor unit count than i would actually need. Is there any way to solve this problem? Adding another activity starting at the earliest activity start date and finishing at the lastest activity finish date would actually solve half of my problem but it will complicate the report a little.
