Curve

Curve field

The resource's units and costs distributed over the duration of an activity.

A curve can only be assigned to activities that have a duration type of Fixed Duration and Units or Fixed Duration and Units/Time.

A manual curve type indicates that the assignment's future period resource distribution was manually entered in the Resource Usage Spreadsheet of P6 Professional. If you select a different curve type, the manually-entered distribution is deleted, and the units and costs for the assignment are redistributed according to the curve you select. Be sure this is the appropriate course of action before replacing a manual curve with another curve.
