Assigning Resource Curves to Resource or Role Assignments from the Activities Page
You can assign a resource distribution curve to any resource or role assignment on activities with a duration type of Fixed Duration and Units/Time or Fixed Duration & Units. Resource usage and costs are distributed evenly during an activity unless you specify nonlinear distribution using curves.
To assign a resource curve:
- Click Projects.
- On the Projects navigation bar, click Activities.
- On the Activities page, to set the Duration Type to Fixed Duration and Units/Time or Fixed Duration & Units, click Customize View and click the Columns tab.
- On the Columns tab:
- Expand General in the Available Columns section.
- Double-click Duration Type.
- Click Save and Apply.
- On the Activities page:
- Select Fixed Duration and Units/Time or Fixed Duration & Units from the Duration Type list for the activity whose curve you want to configure.
- Click the Assignments detail window.
Note: You must assign a resource or role to the activity.
- In the Assignments detail window, double-click the Curve field, and click Select.
- In the Select a Resource Curve dialog box, select a curve and click OK.
Tips
- If you assign a resource curve to an assignment with a manual curve, the manually-entered future period values will be overwritten.
- Resource curves do not support expenses. The Accrual Type will continue to spread the expenses.
- If the Curve column is not available, add it to the detail window.
- You can also assign resource curves to resource or role assignments from the Resources Assignments page.
