1 Resource - 2 Projects- 2 Different Working Times

[Lenny]

Hi,

I have a enterprise resource that is working on two different
projects. One project requires 8 hours per day and the other project
requires 6.5 hours per day. How should that resource be set in the
system?

We have considered the following:

Resource calendars - but you can only use one per resource
Task calendars - seem like it would be an administrative nightmare and
it would impact any other resources on the task
Project calendar - seems to override the resource's hours on the 6.5
day project by changing the resources time to 8 hours.

Is this possible? Does anyone have a great solution/idea?

Thank you in advance for your time!

Lenny

Lenny, I'd say the project calendar is the best way to go but you have
to keep in mind that the resource calendar will always override the
project calendar, so you'll always have to do some manual stuff on the
scheduled work.

I don't see how one project calendar impacts another project - as long
as you don't select the same calendar on both projects.
