Default Alternate resource rate

[Mike Einhorn]

Hello,

For a particular project I would like Project to use an alternate rate table
for a resource. Instead of editing the Cost Rate Table for each task can I
somehow set a default for the whole project?

Thanks,

Mike Einhorn

Mike,
Since you imply the alternate rate is for a given resource why not
simply set that resource's rate appropriately?

Cost rate table information only applies to assignments which are
viewable on either the Resource or Task Usage views. Unfortunately there
is no default setting to do what I think you want. It could be done with
a VBA macro but other than that I think you're stuck with manual entry
for each assignment.

Hi,
In resource usage view, show the cost rate table column, set the appropriate
CRT for the first assignment of the reosurce, then drag this value down for
all the resource's assignments.
