Resources not recognised in subprojects? listed x2/3 in resource usage

[charlir]

Hi there,

I have a project of which there are 2 inserted tasks of holidays and away days inserted under project number. they are all on outline level 1.

when i go to resource usage... it lists people twice- for each mini-project it gives the resource name and if they are over allocated.

I need to link projects (already linked start to start) so that for each resource i.e charli- it will show holidays, away days and project tasks that I am working on. i,e,-

charli - design - 8 hours
holiday - 4 hours

instead of charli - design 8 hours
ben - design 8 hours
andrew - design 5 hours
charli - holiday - 25 hours

so how do i link the projects so that the resources are recognised as the SAME resource? (currently they are linked from my outlook account so no chance that I've clicked on different people!)

many thanks

Hi Charli,

I'm guessing from your other post that you found resource pools. I don't exactly know why you have created the holiday project -- did you not want to change the resource's calendar?
