Grouping of resources

[dave_butkovich]

I'm hoping someone can easily tell me if this is possible and how to go
about doing it.

On my current project I am not only responsible for the work of my
staff, but that of the
client. I would like to group resources (staff, client) so I can run
reports of the 2 groups
independent of one another. This is especially important because I am
recording cost
and time actuals within Project. I'm sure this is possible, but I'm
struggling trying to find
out how.

I'm using MS Project 2003 standard. Forgive me if it is incredibly
simple. Can anyone help? Thanks to all.

A caveat to this is I want to be able to report on time by group by
deliverable. So, for example, I have "Deliverable A" and all the tasks
required to complete it. I'm interested to know how much effort is
required by staff or by client to complete that deliverable.

So essentially it's like a filter of the resources in a particular
group. Possible?

Thanks again!

There is already a field called group on the resource sheet - free format
text so be careful of spellings when entering data. So you could add "Client"
and "Staff" into this field against each resource. There is also a filter
called resource group which uses that field. Try that and see if you get the
results you need

let me know

Awesome thanks. I'm embarresed I could not figure that out on my own.
