Resources

How do I allocate resources from a common pool and
how do I roll-up the resources allocated to several projects?

RE: Resources

Hi Steve,

Simply create a blank project and then populate the resource sheet with the resources in your common pool. Save this, calling it something like "resource pool" etc.

Then with the resource pool open, open the projects that are to use the resource pool and click on tools-resource sharing-share resources.

Then choose the option that allows the project to get its resources from the resource pool and save the changes.

Then if you reopen the resource pool it will give you the opportunity to open a master project that shows all the rpojects using the resource pool.

Regards

Stephen
