Task Priority Interaction

[Mike]

I've recently read that "there is no overlap of priorities between projects".
For example, if Project A has a priority of 500 and Project B a priority of
400, the tasks within Project A will always have a higher priority for
leveling than those in Project B. So a priority 1000 task in Project B will
have a lower priority than a priority 0 task in Project A.

If multiple projects have the SAME priority, will Resource Levelling
prioritize tasks from these different projects against each other? It seems
that the playing field will be equal between projects if their priorities are
identical. (Levelling order is set to "Priority, Standard".)

Thank you.

Hi,

To complete Julie's reply: about your first question, yes, a 999 priority
task in the low priority project will be scheduled after a low prioriyty
task in the high prio project.
Yes, 999, because a 1000 priority task will NOT BE LEVELED wherever ist
stands.
