Resource Information: Leveling

You can create resources when either the Cross Tab or Resource Bar Chart views are active.

The following table describes the fields on this screen shown below:

Field Description
Max simultaneous tasks This option is currently not in use.
Allow Leveling If selected, this resource is levelled during the levelling process (i.e. tasks is delayed so that the resource usage does not exceed the resource availability). By default, this field is selected.
Minimum section duration This applies to tasks (to which this resource is assigned) that are allowed to be split during levelling.

Enter a number and select a time unit to specify the minimum duration a section must have, i.e. the levelling process will not split a task into shorter segments. You would usually specify a duration below which it becomes impractical for this resource to perform any work.
