Daily hrs for a resource

[jomalopi00]

If I have 1 resource and many tasks, can I attribute each day different work hours.
I.e: 1 week of work and I would like that the resource work 3hrs on Monday, 5hrs on thuesday etc…

Is it possible to do this?

You can change an individual resource's work hours in its properties page and set different work hours for each day.

Thanks a lot for the reply but can you precise how I access the properties page of the resource. Because when I open the resource info window I have the General, Working Time, Costs and Notes tabs.

Thank you in advance, because it will help me a lot.

OK, you already accessed the Working Time page, so what's the problem?

My problem is that I have a resource that at a certain time of the project is underallocated. So I thought I just have to enter on the general tab the Avail from/to fields with the concerned dates with a higher %, but it doesn't work. My duration is not reduced (because % increased) and the work hours not increased too. I have only an error message.
Sorry it is difficult to explain those kind of problems in writing.

Are you allowing your task to have a non-fixed duration?

I fixed the work (in hrs)

Did you try to put in the resource at 100% twice? MSP seems to have a bug in the particular function.

It sounds like you might want to work from the Resource Usage View. Then you can move over to the Time Phased portion on the right and input the number of hours of Work that you would like the Resource to work on each task by day.

Adjusting the Avail to and From dates is probably not what you want to do.

Hope this helps!
