Start Date based on Resource availability

Runyard

I have a very complex schedule Im attempting to put into smartsheet..  I have been able to get the schedule to work and get the warnings that the resource is over booked.  

 

But is there a way to have the start date be dependent on when the resource becomes available?

Hi Runyard,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

thanks for your feedback..       wondering if you have any other ideas to help.. 

i have a labor force of 1000 labor hours daily...   I have hundreds of different jobs to schedule...  I have the run rates automated... 

 

currently im using the allocation % for the research based on the hours required vs available...  

 

since it is based on labor hours we can run 100's of jobs in the same day... 

 

currently i start at the top and select start date and keep going down the list until I have a resource constraint.. then that job starts the next day..

 

but with constant changing priorities… you can imagine this is going to be a pain..

 

so you if have any ideas on how to schedule such a resource it would be helpful..

Happy to help!

I'd be happy to take a look!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Have a fantastic week!
