How do you go about linking multiple projects and resources

RE: Project

Hi Angus

Thanks for your question. The resource pool is one way you can link projects and resources. Create the resource pool file containing your resource information and saved it. Ideally this file will not have any tasks in it as they might cause confusion later when the projects are combined.

Leave the resource pool open and open your project file that needs resrouces. From the tools menu choose Resource Sharing > Share resources. Set the dialog to use resources from the pool. You can now assign resources from the pool to your project tasks.

You can repeat this process with other projects so that you get an over view of resource usage across a range of projects.

If you have any other questions regarding resource pools or project please do let us know.

Kind regards

Andrew


 

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
