TABLE OF CONTENTS The order that topics are introduced in this chapter is also a satisfactory order of actions that should be considered when preparing to assign resources to activities.
The simplest calculation options should be used as a default, and more complex options considered only when there is a specific scheduling requirement.
The table below lists process and suggested options that could be considered when creating a resourced schedule. It is important to set all the parameters before the activities are added otherwise a lot of time is wasted changing parameters on a number of activities. These are not intended to suit every project but are a starting point for less experienced users.
| Step | Suggested Settings |
|---|---|
| There is a choice of percentage (50%) or units/duration (4h/d). This should be set on personal preference. |
| It is suggested that the Preserve the Units, Duration, and Units/Time for existing assignments is selected. With this option as Resources are added or deleted the total number of hours assigned to an Activity increases or decreases. Each Resource s hours are calculated independently. |
