From: Yannis on 31 Mar 2010 11:39 Hello, we need to set a resource to only work for one (1) day per week on a specific project (because we want to book the rest 4 days to work in another project). [At the Enterprise Pool level, the resource is correctly setup to work five (5) days per week] Is there any way we can achieve this? Thanks in advance, YP
From: Jan De Messemaeker on 31 Mar 2010 13:26 Hi, Providing you have authority to defien new base calendars, do as follows: In the special project, define a working calendar 1 day per week Select all the tasks this resource is to work on Click Task Information, Advacnced tab Set the new base calendar as task calendar, check "Scheduling ignores resource calendars" If one of these tasks has more than one resoruce attached you may be in trouble, but if not, this is the (only) way HTH -- Jan De Messemaeker Microsoft Project Most Valuable Professional +32 495 300 620 For availability check: http://users.online.be/prom-ade/Calendar.pdf "Yannis" <Yannis(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DCC003E8-59E1-468E-9F5C-3F1221DA8A81(a)microsoft.com... > Hello, > > we need to set a resource to only work for one (1) day per week on a > specific project (because we want to book the rest 4 days to work in > another > project). > > [At the Enterprise Pool level, the resource is correctly setup to work > five > (5) days per week] > > Is there any way we can achieve this? > > Thanks in advance, YP

Yannis -- There is no easy way to address this scheduling situation. The simplest solution would be to assign the resource to tasks in the first project at no more than 20% Units on any task, which simulates the resource working approximately 1 day out of each 5-day work week. This consumes 20% of the resource's availability in the Project Server 2007, by the way. On the second project, I would assign the resource at no more than 80% Units on any task, which simulates the resource working approximately 4 days out of each 5-day work week. This consumes the other 80% of the resource's availability in Project Server 2007, and shows the resource fully utilized during the time periods during which the two projects overlap. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
