Next: How do I get rid of the available hours for the "unassigned" r
From: Dee on 14 May 2008 12:40
I have several projects and small tasks in corporate master project plan that
do not have resources assigned (they are for information only). When I go to
the Resource Usage tab, the items show up under the Unassigned. And it shows
40 hours of remaining availability for this "unassigned" resource. I've tried
to edit "unassigned" to not be available, but MSP 2007 does not allow me to
edit the availability. How do I remove this availability so those hours are
not counted when I run Resource availability reports? It can add up to
hundreds of hours when I run a report for a rolling three-month period.

Thanks for the help!

Hello Dee,

I'm sorry but to the best of my knowledge, if you display remaining
availability in the Resource Usage view, there is no way to turn the
information off for the Unassigned resource.

However, when I do a quick test on the Resource Work Remaining
Availability report, the "Unassigned" resource hours are zero and are
not counted in the totals on the report. The Resource Usage report
edited to show Remaining Availability does not include the
"Unassigned" resource either.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
