Hi,
I have a question regarding resources leveling !
I think that when leveling, if primavera cannot fit into the limits of my resources, it does not try to keep the resources as close as possible to my limits. As soon as it exceeds the limits, it just schedules (and does not level anymore).Is that correct?
Thanks !

Oldest first- 0Paul Harris ·A definition of leveling is the delaying of an activity until resources are available.
Therefore by definition if you assign more resources than available then the schedule will not be able to level the task and ignore it.
There are functions available in P3 that allow leveling when the number of resources assigned to a task exceed the number available in the Resource dictionary, these are:
1. Smoothing has three options and Time Constrained uses double the maximum limit.
2. Stretching allow a task to be stretched and therefore reducing the Units per Time period.
