Central Resource Pool
Hi
We have setup a Central Resource Pool, however, plans are updated locally on Laptops/Desktops and each week they save their plan with the week ending date. The impact of this is that when they save the plan under a new name it duplicates the task in the Central Resource Pool, so you have a task under the last plan name and the same task is duplicated under the new plan name. has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you resolve it? Look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in anticipation. Kind regards Tony |

Hi Tony,
Sorry but the process needs to be completely re-done. Each time a user saves without disconnecting one of the files, this duplication will occur. You'll need to teach the users how to disconnect their older copy from the pool and someone (likely you ) will have to audit the pool file weekly. The other issue is you are likely heading towards some significant corruption of the pool with this sort of churning. |

Sorry it wasn't a "oh, that's any easy fix" answer. Working the pools really does require quite a bit of "follow the rules" behavior to be successful. Pretty much anything short is just a corruption waiting to happen.
