Work based effort driven task load sharing to resources not yet available, help!
You want what a lot of users want from Project and that is some type of algorithm the optimizes resource usage. Unfortunately that functionality does not exist in Project. You can set up generic or group resources and customize Project, task and resource calendars but YOU will have to assign the resources and re-assign as necessary when a resource or group is available.
I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but that's a fundamental limitation in Project.
