Resource Allocation – Multiple Task owners in one Task

SBash

Hi,

How can I allocate the resources in single task when I have multiple task owners or multiple Task managers?

How can i allocate the hours based on individual manager?

Best Regards

Hi Saqib,

To use Resource Allocation for multiple people for one task you'd need to have the task on multiple rows.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!

We need this functionality - I have tasks in my plan that involve more than one resource, for instance, a meeting. If I have a kickoff meeting, I want to show who has to take time to attend that meeting. My plan is already 900+ lines, I would be challenged to repeat a task 5-6 times just to account for the time everyone takes to do that task.

I would like Smartsheet to adjust duration (not work) when I add a second or third resource to the one task. This would save so much time.

I understand if I add more than one resource to a task, it negates tracking time at all.

Thank you

I agree with Mary, this would be a valuable feature and something that most other scheduling tools offer (e.g. MS Project). It would be necessary however to allow for the effort (i.e. hours) of each stakeholder to be adjustable. The sum total could then be shown in the main schedule view.

Automation not working
I have a Smartsheet automation setup to reminder the planning to complete their sections. It is setup to remind weekly until completed box is checked. They received 2 reminders and then the reminders stopped. Any idea what could be wrong? I can't tell that anything has changed in the sheet. Thanks Freda
How to disable popups that obscure my formula?
I'm editing formulas in a Sheet Summary. However, I'm prevented from seeing the formula by an annoying "helpful" popup that obscures my view. I can't figure out how to get rid of the popup. Does anyone know?
Workflow Error: "Recipients: Edit workflow to fix recipients list"
I am trying to create a workflow and for some reason it gives me an error with the email I entered as the recipient for my Alert. It is an email that I know works, it is shared to the sheet, and the access to the sheet is unrestricted. I am perplexed at what the issue is. Anyone else get this and know what the issue is?
