Re: Removing Resource from multi-resource task

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Rod,

I tried using the Remove button in the Assign Resources dialog box, but the
result is the loss of all work performed by the resource. I would think the
expected behaviour of the Remove button would be to remove that resource from
working on the resource from that point moving forward. I am not sure why
the Remove button removes previous work.

In any event, I just open the task pane and set the remaining work of the
resource I want to stop working on the task and pass there remaining work to
others.

Please advise if you have any insight on the Remove button in the Assign
Resources dialog.

Thanks,
glenn

Select Window, split then select the task form in the lower pane and
right-mouse click and select Resource Work. Now set remaining work for the
resource to zero and make sure Actual work reflects what they have already
done. Give the remaining work you removed to the other resources.

I have a task that has 4 people allocated at 25% each. Planned work is 100
hours for each resource and they have all tracked 25 hours of actual work
on
the task. Resource-a got moved to a special assignment on another project
and
needs to be removed from this task. I want to retain resource-a's actuals
and
have the remaining planned work redistributed to the other three resources
at
33% each. In general, how should this be done?

Thanks

Mike Kleiman
