Split resource among multiple tasks automatically

Hello,

I imagine this question has been asked many times, but several searches
through the group yielded no answer.

I have resources who have multiple concurrent assignments. Is there a way
to have Project split the resource's time among the concurrent assignments
automatically, or do I need to set this manually?

Currently, I add tasks and assign a resource, and then project sets the
resource to work 8 hours per day on each task resulting in an overallocation.
Leveling pushes the tasks out serially, so task 1 is worked to completion,
then task 2, etc.

I'd like Project to split the resource's time among the tasks automatically
and not overallocate the resource if possible.

Thanks,

Tom

Project won't do that. You have to tell it which tasks each resource is
assigned to and how much of that resource's time.

Hope this helps in your world.
