Assign a Resource to 1 hour of work

[jlo]

I have 4 tasks that will take 1 hour of work. I will assign 4 resources for
that task at 1 hour. All my resources are 100% unit. When I assign the
resources do I need to change 100% units? Not sure what to change it to.
All I know is that I altered the units for each resources to 10% instead of
100% and it's not coming out right. It shouldn't change the day but it's
pushing the project date out 4 days instead of 4 hours. I'm so confused.
How do you schedule an hour of work for 4 resources on one task?

Hi,

What IS the duration of he task? You say it's not 4 days but what DO you
want it to be? 1 day? 1 hour?
Do the following
Define the task with the appropriate duration (1d or 1h or whatever)
Window Menu
Split
In the task form (which is the upcoming lower part of the split window)
Set Task Type to Fixed duration (it probably says Fixed Units now)
In the resource table enter the 4 resources (1 per line) and each time fill
work as 1h
Click OK
