Re: Resource Pooling and client rates

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Leveling is OK across multiple projects which are inserted into a master
file and the resource calendars stick to the resources.
Once you apply a rate and a calendar to a resource, you can't change it for
that resource from project to project.
If you splt your resource in the resource pool so that one resource looks
like several, such as
Bob for Project 1
Bob for Project 2
etc
you get the different rates and calendars in different projects but then
can't level Bob.
The same thing happens within an individual project and without a pool.
You can't change the resource rate or the resource calendar from task to
task.

In that case how can I go about resource levelling if resources
applied to projects are seperate entities in the eyes of Project. As
I see it, Project won't be able to level Project A's "bob" vs Project
B's "bob". Also, how do people manage multiple projects and staff
holiday etc?

This is not possible to do when you go to a shared resource pool model
because rate is a resource attribute and not a project or "resource on
project" attribute, .
