Split Tasks

Hi, I know this wasn't covered on my course, however, I hope you'll be able to help me. I'm having a problem with tasks automatically splitting and I don't understand why. I haven't resourced the plan so there shouldn't be any levelling taking place (although I did clear it just in case), but I can't get the tasks to unsplit.

Do you have any suggestions that I can try.

Many thanks
Angela

RE: Split Tasks

Hi Angela

Thank you for your question. Although there are no resources has any work or progress been added? You might also want to go to Tools > Resource leveling and choose Level Resources is it set to manual or automatic. Manual would be the preferred setting.

Let me know if you find anything.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Ms project tip:

Avoid Accidental Constraints

The initial default table is the Entry table. Enter a task name and duration, but do not enter start or finish dates. Form the plan using links, predecessors. Typing dates introduces constraints. To remove these constraints, double click on a task, and on the Advanced page of Task Information set the constraint back to As Soon As Possible (all other options are there too.)
