Hi there,

does anybody know whether I can set a maximum number of work days for a
resource ?

Thank you.

Udo

Hi Udo,

I'm not sure I understand fully what you are asking.

If a resource is only available for specific dates (due to contract
start and end for example) you can set the resource's maximum unit for
specific date ranges on the General tab of the Resource Information
dialog box. (Double click on the resource's name.)

If this is not what you are seeking, give us a bit more information so
we can assist further.

I hope this helps.

Julie

Hi Julie,

thanks for your reply.

As an example: I have a resource that is available for my project for
30 work days from now until next year may due to an agreement with that
department that he works in. Now I like to make sure that I am not
exceeding these 30 days once I replan or add tasks in that project
plan.

If I set the maximum unit to e.g. 20% then once I will add a task with
8hours of work a certain day, I think I will have an overload of that
resource.

Thanks.

Udo

Hallo Udo,

Don't do this with percentages, as you have seen it doesn't work
I would simply check his total work after each sizable revision.
One could imagine a VBA macro that creates a message box but I wonder
whether it's worth the effort.

Use the Resource Information dialog, Working Time tab to set the exact dates
you want, excluding all others
