Default Thank you

Hi,



thanks a lot for your reply. I thought so...
In reality, two guys work on Task A 50% because the task can only be done by both of them together. They do this for two days in the morning. So the afternoon is free for the second task. After two days the entire day is available for the second task.

I will try a different approach in setting up my tasks. Maybe split the longer tasks in additional sub tasks.

Thanks for the feedback!

If you need to restrict Task A to be worked on during specific times, consider creating a task calendar restricting work to only the morning hours. Assign that task calendar to Task A. Then resource leveling will do what you want it to. It will assign only 4 hours (at 100%) for Task B during the duration of Task A then 8 hours per day for the end of Task B.

Yeah, awesome! I wasn't really aware of the calendar per task option.
Now I got the exact result that I tried to achieve.

I assigned a 4hrs calendar to Task A. When I assigned resources and used the resource leveling function, Task B was split at the end of Task A. First part assigned the resource 50%, the second part 100%.
See the result attached.

Thanks a lot!
