Priority rating for tasks

just a quick clarification please: when using the priority setting for each task was it that if you set a task with a priority of 1000 then the leveling function would not automatically change the resourcing for this task? Thanks.

RE: priority rating for tasks

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your question.

If you assign a priority level of 1000 to a task, if you then use Resource Levelling to resolve all the Resource overallocations, it will skip that task allowing you to resolve it yourself.

I hope this has answered your question.

Regards

Simon

RE: priority rating for tasks

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your post.

The files we worked on won't be available in your delegate account. The files included in the zipped folder are the project files needed to complete the review exercises in your full manual.

Please find attached a copy of the shed project we completed.

I hope this helps.

Have a great weekend.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

a. Highlight the column or columns you wish to alter the width of.
b. Double click the dividing line between the columns. This dividing line is the break between the columns on the column headers (grey buttons showing the column letter at the top of each column). When you hover your mouse over one of these dividing lines the point will change and show an arrow pulling a line in two directions. When you have this mouse pointer you should double click to get Project to automatically set the column width to fit the contents of the column (autofit)
