Issues with task priority and ressource
Thank you for the feedback. I managed to solve my issues by starting from a blank file.
However, I would like to manage a resource of 4 people by adjusting the max unit. But I have 2 problems: I would like each of the 4 people to be at 90%, so should I set a resource with a max unit at "360%"? My second problem is how to manage the holidays of each of these 4 people, how can I do that ?
SPA 10,
With regard to your 4 resources. If you created a single group resource to represent the 4 individuals, then yes, you can set the Max Units for the group at 360%. However, that will NOT limit each of the individuals to 90%, it will only limit the group's total allocation to 360%.
And since you ask how to manage holidays for each of the 4 individuals, the only way to do that is to identify each of the 4 resources as a separate resource. Then you can set each resource's Max Unit value to 90% AND create custom resource calendars to identify holidays for each resource. However, are there common holidays for all 4 resources (e.g. Country or company holidays)? It's best to create a custom Project calendar with all the common holidays. Don't just modify the existing Standard calendar but create a new custom calendar, perhaps based on the Standard.
Once the common holidays are defined in the Project calendar, you can then customize each resource's calendar exceptions for such things as vacation, unique work hours (e.g. half time employee), or other individual time off.
