Hi,
I have a few questions about Microsoft Project that I have not yet been able to figure out:
1. I'd like to set up a task with a 24hr calendar so that it CAN be worked on 24hrs a day 7 days a week, but if I assign a resource that can only work 10hrs a day 5 days a week to it, I'd like the task to change duration accordingly (spanning weekends and so on). Is there a way to do this without changing the task calendar to coincide with the assigned resource itself?
2. Also, is there a way to virtually make a task fixed duration and fixed work, so that it will not change length but will require a certain amount of work (and then also alert you if there is not enough resources assigned) ?
3. I'd also like to have a task require both a certain equipment resource and worker resource simultaneously at certain times and only one of the two at other times (i.e. several hours on a certain machine while a worker sets it up and then several days on the machine regardless of if the worker is there to operate it).
Thanks,
David
