Resource Conflicts

The system indicates that resource conflicts exist by displaying a conflict warning indicator next to a resource's name on the Resources page when any of these conditions occur:

• In the Assignment Schedule grid on the Resource Detail page, a resource is associated with an activity on the project that has dates that are outside of the date ranges that are specified for the resource.

• On the Resources by Activity page, the sum of a resource's units on activities for any day total more than the percent that is specified in the Assignment Schedule grid on the Resource Detail page.

• Activity assignment units on the Resources by Activity page are greater than the assignment schedule units on the Resource Detail page.

• On the Resource Detail page, the resource's units for any activity exceed the units on the assignment schedule.

You can view the specific activities that are causing the conflict on the Resource Detail page in the Activity List grid. A conflict warning indicator appears next to the activities that are causing the conflict.

You can move your mouse cursor over the conflict warning indicator to display text that indicates the nature of the conflict. To resolve scheduling conflicts, perform one of the following actions:

• Extend the resource's assignment end date on the Resource Detail page.

• Reduce the resource's units on the Resources by Activity page.

• Increase the units for the resource on the project assignments
