RE: Tasks

Hi Gareth,

Thank you for your question.

When you create a task, in the task information box you can set a priority level of between 1 and 1000.

When you assign resources to a task, sometimes you will assign a resource to two jobs on the same day. Project will mark that resource as overallocated.

If Resource Levelling is used to resolve the overallocation, the lower the number, the more likely the task will be delayed to resolve the problem.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Keep constraining dates to a minimum

As far as possible avoid fixing the dates of your tasks. For example try to steer of clear dragging task bars in the Gantt chart to move them on the timeline or entering dates directly into the Start / Finish fields.

Date constraints such as these limit Microsoft Project's ability to automatically adjust your project whenever you add, remove or modify the duration of your tasks. Instead use the logic in your task dependencies that link your tasks to enable Project to calculate the start and finish dates for you.
