Configuring Resource Settings

Use the Settings detail window available from the Administration Resources tab to define settings for the resource, such as the resource calendar and default units/time, as well as P6 Progress Reporter settings.

To configure resource settings:

  1. Click "" Resources.
  2. On the Resources navigation bar, click "" Administration.
  3. On the Administration page, click the Resources tab.
  4. On the Resources tab, select the resource for which you want to define general settings.
  5. Click the Settings detail window, review the following options and make selections based on your project needs.

    Calendar: See Assigning Calendars to Resources.

    Default Units/Time: Use the default value or change the default units/time value. Enter these values as units per duration or as a percentage, depending on your choice in the Units/Time Format area of the My Preferences page.

    Overtime Allowed: Select to enable the labor resource to record overtime hours for activities.

    Overtime Factor: Type the number by which the resource's standard price should be multiplied to determine the resource's overtime price.

    Auto Compute Actuals: Select to automatically calculate the selected resource's actual quantity of work according to the project plan rather than reported hours in P6 Progress Reporter. Clear this option if you plan to select Uses Timesheets.

    Currency: Click "" to select a currency that is different from the default currency, and click OK.

    Calculate Costs from Units: Select this option to indicate that any new assignment for this resource will have its cost recalculated whenever any quantity changes occur, such as changing an activity's remaining duration.

    Progress Reporting Settings: See Configuring Timesheet Reporting for Resources.

  6. On the Resources tab, click "" Save (Ctrl+S).
