Hiding task bar for nonworking time on an individual basis

[Guest]

I know how to make the taskbar hide behind nonworking time (Format -
Timescale - Non-working time - Draw in front of task bars), but I can't
specify this on a resource-by-resource basis.

So I have a contractor who only comes in 2 days a week, but her task
bar spans a full 5-day work week, making it look like she's in all
week. I can explain to my clients why that is, but it still causes
confusion.

Is there a way I can hide/obscure/nuke the taskbar for nonworking days
for each resource's schedule? Thanks.

mehatespam,
Unfortunately Project does not have the flexibility to
"hide/obscure/nuke" the non-working part of a task bar as it relates to
resource assignment. The closest you can come is to insert splits in the
task but I honestly think that will create more problems than it will
solve. I think the best approach is to explain to your clients that
that's the way Project works. Maybe a future version will add more
flexibility to the Gantt bar display.
