Allocation Percentage
by SmVycnlpbm5j » Sat, 27 Aug 2005 00:48:27 GMT
I am trying to find a way to change the allowable allocation from 100% to
less than or more than 100%. I want this to be a temporary change so that
resource can be looked at that are say allocated more than 125% and have
those resources in RED only. I tried to change the maximum units on the
resource sheet and I get some interesting results when I look at the Resource
Usage.
Any thoughts on how to do this.

Please don't crosspost - you make the same people work twice for no reason

2.New resource allocation percentage is ignored
I use a shared resource pool. I noticed that somehow my percentage allocation
on a task was 106%. Don't know how that happened.. but I changed the task
allocation to 15% and then saved the project and the resource pool.
Apparently Microsoft doesn't like that answer because each time I close and
re-open these projects, the percentage is back at 106%. The only way it does
not bounce back to that value is if I open the sharer project alone and do
not open the resource pool when asked.
This behavior has happened on several tasks in several different projects.

3.Protecting a resource's allocation percentage across multiple proj
I have a resource who is doing work for multiple, related projects. He can
only invest 50% of his time (e.g., 4 hours/day) across all of these projects.
So as a simple example, if each of the four projects require four hours of
his time, the Resource Usage view would show him spending four hours per day
for four days.
I think what I need to do is have this resource in a master project, and
have all the projects he is working on be linked into this master as
subprojects.
Will this meet my need? What other things must I do to ensure this resource
does not get overallocated and all Finish Dates correctly uphold his 50%
allocation constraint?
4.Allocation percentage changing
I have what I consider to be a basic project. The resources (they are
people) are set-up permanently at either 75% or 88%. The project is set-up
to use automatic leveling and everything is fixed units and effort driven. I
think everything else is set to default values. Evrything works fine except
one thing. When I assign a resource to a task that has less than 7 hours on
it the allocation for the resource is automatically lowered to match the
percentage of time it would take to complete the task. For example, when I
assign a resource to a task that has work of 2 hours, it changes the resource
to 25%. If I then reselect that same resource, the 75% or 88% shows back up
again. Any ideas why this happens? I have tried messing with various
options including the effort driven option and it always does the same thing
(changes my resource allocation the first time it is assigned). I am using
Project 2003.
5.how to get resource allocation percentages in a query using Project web-access?
Using MS Project web-access 2003, I want to query the cube and - for
every project - show the same content I would see on the task-resource
name field in MS Project itself.
The problem is - I can't seem to find the fields to do this - to break
it down by task and % of resource's time allocated to that.
E.g. I'm looking for a field that produces this - for each project -
in a single query:
John Smoth[20%], Cindy Ryan[50%]
Thanks!
