Re: Swapping Resources ?

Julie,

When I replace Jim with Mike, both Jim and Mike are now shown in the Assign
Resources dialog as being checked. None the less, if I now add an additional
day of Actual Work, costs are added only for Mike.

After replacing Jim with Mike, shouldn't Jim's name no longer be listed as a
resource for the task with Mike being the only resource listed from this
point forward?

thanks,
glenn

Hi Glenn,

Try using the Assign Resources button. After recording the 1 day of
actual work from Jim, select the task and click the Assign Resources
button. Select Jim's name in the dialog and click the Replace
button. Select Mike's name click Ok and close. Jim still has the 1
day of actual work and the remaining work (72 hours) is assigned to
Mike.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi all,

I have 2 resources, Jim and Mike.

Mike makes $20/hr and Jim makes $40/hr. The work for my task is
10days. If
I assign Jim to the resource and let him work 1day, I will have
9days of work
remaining.

If I then remove Jim and assign Mike to the task, I get a dialog
box stating
"The Selected Item has some actual values. Do you still want to
delete it?
Yes, No. If I select Yes, it removes the work that Jim did in
lieu of
placing Mike on the job with 9days of remaining work which I
believe should
be the expected behaviour.

What am I missing?
Glenn
