Resource allocation with multiple assigned to

rrosenthal39711

Good day all,

I'm working with resource allocation across multiple projects.  Resource allocation is turned on for the account and then turn on and off for each sheet I want in the overall program.

My understanding is that %allocation is assumed to be at 100% when there's no %allocation column specifying otherwise. 

In our projects we use multiple resources assigned to a task.... a lead, a manager, a scientist and a technician, each with their own %allocation for a specific task.  

I am able to create the columns and auto-calculate the %allocation based on duration and the work within that duration.

Is it possible to have multiple %allocation columns? and assign one for each resource? 

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Hi Richard,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to use resource allocation, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a workaround, you could use one row for each allocation resource.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree',

I am using that work around now.  That's when I also learned that %allocation can't be a formula.  Thanks for the response. I'll add that to the request.  :-)

Thanks,

Richard

Hi, we need to create a line every time we want assign a task to more people? This method is  very dificult. I think collumns worker better for this.
