linking tasks to resource availability

how do you link tasks to resource availability, ie if you have limited availability of resource how do you get the tasks to snap to the availability time

RE: linking tasks to resource availability

Hi Jason,

Thankyou for the question

The obvious way to do this would be to have automatic leveling turned on, with your tasks correctly prioritised. However, this would probably cause as many problems as its solves and is not recommended.

Most notably, it might delay or split other tasks in an attempt to resolve the conflict

Another method might involve writing a macro to automatically move a task to the next available slot in a resource's schedule.
