We are using Smartsheet with Resource Management enabled. We are tracking % allocation for employees and would like to do so for Leads as well. The idea is that the Lead would be allocated for the duration of task consisting of smaller subtasks at, say, 20%.
We are using the Basic Project with Resource Management template.
My first thought was to assign the Lead as the resource in the main task, which I am able to do. But I am not allowed to add a % allocation for the Lead to the main task - it simply disappears.
My second attempt at a workaround was to create a "Lead" subtask, but the issue there is that it won't adjust dynamically to the duration of the larger task. I tried using a formula and making the Duration of the "Lead" subtask equal to the duration of the main task, but that did not work, either.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
