Resource start time

[dee]

I have a task that is fixed duration - effort driven. Due to the task
itself, it must take place over 2 days, allowing time for drying.

I had assigned an initial resource to the task, translating into 14 hours of
work over 2 days. This resource doesn't have time to be committed all day to
the task, so am adding another resource to help out. when I assign, it is
fine - the work is divided and still over 2 days.

My question is - what if I don't want both resources to start at the same
time - perhaps I want one resource to work in the morning and the other to
continue on in the afternoon.

If I changed the start time, it sets a constraint, which I don't want to do.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,

Task Usage View
Set minor timescale to hours
You can now contour both resources' work at will.

Hope this helps,

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your help. I tried changing it manually, but of course it set a
constraint.

So, contouring is the answer - I'll test it out. Thanks for your time and
advice.
