material resource question

L

lynne baker

We have bought a number of PDA's for testing purposes.
We would like to add them as a material resource to a project with
their associated cost, but we don't want to add them to the enterprise
resource pool because they will swell it to ridiculous proportions.
Is it possible to use enterprise resources and local resources in an
enterprise environment - we're running 2002 and PWA.
Many thanks

Lynne --

You can add the PDA material resources to your project as local resources
simply by typing them in the Resource Sheet view of your project. Yes, you
can have both local resources and enterprise resources in the same project.
With local resources that are humans (not PDA's), however, you would need to
set the Workgroup value for each local resource to None if the local
resource does not have a Project Web Access user account. This will help
you to avoid spooler errors when publishing. Hope this helps.
