I have a resource loaded schedule.  Tasks are fixed duration.  I have 
captured the labor hour estimates in the orkfield.  With fixed duration 
tasks, changes in the labor estimates or duration, dynamically changes the % 
allocated of the resources assigned.  

I have a (non human) resource associated with some tasks.  This resource is 
a abneeded for the execution of specific tasks.  This resource, like all 
assigned resources, has a limited capacity.  Adding this resource to a task 
increases the orkassociated a fixed duration task.  Because the resource 
is not a human resource, I do not want abto increase the orkwhen 
added to a task.  

Adding abto appropriate tasks, with an availability of 100% (8 hr./day, 
Mon Fri), I can see, like other resources, when the resource is over 
allocated.  I know then that I have to consider working more than one shift 
to maintain overall schedule.  In actuality, using  the Lab does not increase 
the labor estimate for a taskbut MSP does increase the orkwhen any 
additional resources are added to a fixed duration task.

I can seem to get MSP to allow me to add a resource (with an availability 
of 100% (8 hr./day, Mon Fri)), without increasing the orkfor that task. 
 I essentially trying to do capacity planning for the lab.

Bottom line I want to add a resource to a task, with an availability of 
100% (8 hr./day, Mon Fri), and have that particular not affect (increase) 
the ork for that fixed duration task.

I hope this clarifies the issue.  Any thoughts are appreciated.

In MS project plan by changing the way that the Work unit is displayed 
1.On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Schedule tab. 
2.In the Work is entered in box, select the time unit you want. 
3.make the new settings the default in future projects, click Set as Default.

I have now made this change in the Global Enterprise template but I still 
not seeing it showing up on my web client within the Timesheet view.

I also tried changing it for a published project (within the project plan, 
not the global template) but no luck.

Finally I created a brand new test project plan and assign myself some tasks 
and publish it.This works fine i can see work field as days not in hours in 
web access.But i want to display the same thing for old projects plans also.

server.

We compact on a regular basis.  Is there anything else we can do to help 
this situation?
