What's the effect of setting 'Task type' to Fixed Duration and checking 'Effort driven' in task Information.

RE: Task information

The three task types are fixed units fixed-unit task: A task in which the assigned units [or resources] is a fixed value and any changes to the amount of work or the task's duration do not affect the task's units. This is calculated as follows: Duration x Units = Work. fixed-work task: A task in which the amount of work is a fixed value and any changes to the task's duration or the number of assigned units [or resources] do not affect the task's work. This is calculated as follows: Duration x Units = Work. fixed-duration task: A task in which the duration is a fixed value and any changes to the work or the assigned units [that is, resources] don't affect the task's duration. This is calculated as follows: Duration x Units = Work.). Project uses fixed units by default. When working with effort-driven scheduling, keep the following in mind: The effort-driven calculations apply only after the first resources are initially assigned to the task. After the first resources are assigned, the work value doesn't change as new resources are assigned to or removed from the same task.
