split task for one person only

[KB]

if i have ten people working on a particular task that takes 4 weeks, but i
need one of them to stop working on that task and work on one of the
sub-tasks for one of the 4 weeks, how do i split that person's time for the
week without splitting everyone else's?

eg: Widget Production is a task that has 4 week duration and 10 people
assigned to it 100%. I need one of those people for Quality Control Check
for one week during the 4 weeks, but in my mind Quality Control Check is a
subtask of Widget Production, but MSP doesn't seem to think this way. MSP
will not let me assign the person 100% to QC for one week and 100% to
Production for the other three weeks. i need to keep these items
task-dependent and not date-dependent because if the schedule is changed (not
slips, changed say by the client) i need everything to slid up or back with
the same relationships.

is this individual assignment splitting possible? thanks.

Hi KB,

You may zero out the work hours of the one resource for the week in
either the Resource Usage View or the Task Usage view.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
