scott,
in project can either create individual resources (i.e. joe, fred, tom, etc.) or groups (i.e. carpenters, bricklayers, electricians, etc.). former declare generic resource instead of joe, fred , tom, might designate each carpenter, bricklayer , electrician, meaning carpenter might joe or ben or other carpenter in crew.
for individual resources max units indicates availability of individual. if joe full-time carpenter, max units 1 (100%). if works half-time, max units 0.5 (50%). if joe assigned work more max unit level (i.e. 2 full time tasks simultaneously), project flag overallocation. threshold overallocaiton can set anywhere minute minute month month.
let's set overallocation basis week week , calendar normal 40 hour week. assign joe work 2 tasks on monday such puts in 10 hours instead of normal 8. same thing tuesday , wednesday, such wednesday quitting time, has 30 of 40 hours. on thursday , friday, joe assigned 5 hours each day. though joe worked overtime on monday, tuesday , wednesday, not overallocated because not assigned work more max of 40 hours in week.
for group resource, might set crew of carpenters, bricklayers , electricians, each 5 man crew. since there 5 individuals in each, max units each group 5 (500%). can have 5 working on simultaneous tasks without overallocation, assuming overallocation basis set day day group.
hope helps.
