145 TopicsLimiting Resources
I have a project that has two types of resources. One can provide 100% effort to the project (Resource A), and another only 80% (Resource B). I am setting the work effort, and trying to ensure that the durations are appropriate. For example, an 80-hr task for Resource A should take 2wks, but the same task for Resource B should take 2.67wks based on the availability. I've tried setting various calendars (such as a 7hr day for Resource B), and availabilities in the resource tabs, but I'm guessing I'm doing those wrong as no matter what the duration remains at 2wks. Appreciate any help!Solved54Views0likes5CommentsMS365 Project Drawings

Hi, I am new to Project and about to purchase on premise Project professional 2021, but to ascertain the usability of Project, today purchased Project 3 plan (monthly) in the hope that I get Desktop client to test for a month. As you know, Project professional does not allow trial download, so I have to route to Project 3 plan. Now, issue is, I am unable to download the desktop client from this Project 3 subscription. In the Apps, I see option of installing Project (image below), if downloaded, I get set up file names 'OfficeSetup.exe', and if I install it, office 365 is installed, but I cant find Project. I tried to followhttps://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-can-i-download-ms-project-in-my-computer/2fd8f0bb-4c2c-47f2-9c74-647fbf53b3b7 but so far no success. can you please guide me? Thanks in anticipation.Solved515Views0likes3CommentsMajor Functionality Change in Project Online Desktop: Copy-Paste No Longer Transfers Full Task Data
Hi, I'm having a problem with the task copy-paste functionality, which I use very frequently, in the most recent release of Project Online Desktop Client. I'd love any help you can provide. Description of the Problem: Recently, when copying tasks in Microsoft Project Online Desktop Client, only partial task data is being copied and pasted. Previously, when selecting an entire task row (including summary tasks) and copying it, all task-related data would be copied, including: Resource assignments Work Assignment units Duration Start and finish dates Predecessors and successors Task constraints (e.g., "As soon as possible") Notes All sub-task information for summary tasks (with correct indentation) Upon pasting, this data would be transferred in its entirety, allowing for efficient duplication of task structures and bulk modifications using find/replace. Now, when performing the same action, the behavior has changed. After copying, only the task name is pasted. The following issues occur: Incomplete data transfer: Only the task name is pasted, and no other task details (resource assignments, dates, durations, etc.) are carried over. Loss of summary task structure: For summary tasks, the sub-tasks are not properly indented; instead, the sub-task names are pasted as independent tasks, with no hierarchical structure. Task constraint issue: Pasted tasks now seem to have a "Finish no later than..." constraint applied, which appears to be derived from the original finish dates. This suggests the finish dates are being pasted as fixed constraints, overriding the original "As soon as possible" constraint that the task originally had. It seems as though the copy-paste functionality is not pulling all data fields from the task row but instead is only capturing a subset (task name and finish date). This behavior is different from what used to happen, where all task attributes would be included in the copy-paste operation. Is this an intended change or a bug? Has anyone found a workaround to ensure all task details are copied when using copy-paste functionality in the Desktop Client? Can I adjust settings to restore the original copy-paste behavior? Could this be related to a recent update or settings change in Microsoft Project? Are there any known changes to how Microsoft Project handles copying tasks between project files, or perhaps with Project Online Desktop Client specifically? Can this be escalated to the Project development team? Thanks for any help you can provide. Rob MS Project user since 1996126Views0likes0CommentsCreating production schedule in Project
Hi, I am struggling to find right software for a production scheduling application, for a fast moving manufacturing environment. Eventually I reached to Microsoft Project plan 3 free trial. I find it promising but it is missing the possibility of adding machines etc in the projects. I request to advise on: 1. is the Project right product for a production scheduling purpose? 2. In what form, I get Project so that I get features such as adding machines etc? I am bit confused with Microsoft products available (Project 3 or 5 or Project desktop), before I buy the license, I need to confirm if its possible or not? 3. Does Project desktop still available to download for individual purpose. Please bear with me if this is not the right forum, please direct me suitably.1.8KViews0likes29Comments
