Showing a resource limit

Hi Martyn

I would appreciate this feature as well.

If you don't yet use roles, you can you the role's limit which can be independent from the sum of the resources' limit - User Preferences --> Resource Analysis. Automatically resources are assigned with their primary role to tasks.

If you are working with roles you'll assign the resources with a special role to your tasks. Later on you'll check for this special roles.

Good luck!

Hi and thanks for the reply but it doesnt seem to work.

I added all the resources as required as usual and created a role. I added all resources to that role.

I can see the custom role limit on the user preferences but not sure where to set this limit????

On the resource usage profile options there isnt a setting to put in any limits etc....

This is a basic need and I'm sure i have done this before in P3 & P5

any help appreciated

I'm not quite sure what you did.

Assign a limit to a role: Enterprise --> Roles --> Tab "limits" - equivalent to the resource

Watch the assignments: View Activities --> Details --> Tab resource --> column Roles. Is it your role.

Watch the limit: Resource Usage Profile: Show roles, with the limit, select your role; this window can remain open if you'll use the assign button on the right side of your screen.

If you'll let me know your results I can try to support you more.

Regards

Dieter
