Admin Projects-How does Nonworking Time Impact Resource Availabili

[Terry Peters]

I have an IT Department as a Client and they are starting use of Project
Server 2003. We are considering using an Admin Project for tracking
Non-Project "Maintenance" tasks such as server repairs and upgrades and
another Admin Project for tracking Non-Working (Vacation, etc.) Time.

I know Admin Project time does not automatically post to the Enterprise
Resource Calendar, but I understand that it does impact resource
availability--that is, it counts as resource work & would cause
overallocations if it overlaps assigned project tasks.

Questions:

(1) Where and how does the Admin Project Time get added to and meshed with
the Project Assignment hours so they are totalled for the resource?

(2) Is it the Proposed/Requested Nonworking Time that counts against
resource availability, the Actual/Reported Nonworking Time, or both?

(3) Where can a server user see and pull report data from in order to
analyze the different kinds of time--project, nonworking and nonproject?

Thanks in advance for your considerate and patient kindness,
