Scheduling using percentages for a resource in a project
Hi TDX!
We are trying to enter in schedules for a resource on projects using percentages, but when I do so, it converts it to a different percentage. For example, when I enter in 30 into the Edit Schedule field, it converted it to 80% (30 hours out of 37.5) rather than leave it at 30% and resulted in negative availability. What am I missing? We'd like to use percentages rather than hours to manage schedules.
Thanks,
Alyx

Hello Alex,
Do you happen to be able to take a screen recording/video of this happening so it can better be reviewed? Be sure to fully show what page you are on and where you are clicking/entering content so we can see the issue completely.

Hi Mark,
I've attached a document with screen shots of the steps I used to enter in percentage for resource. The number I enter for the percentage is treated as hours, which is then converted to the percentage of hours of available time.
Thanks,

I noticed in your screen shot, when you enter 30 the % sign is missing. Can you make sure that is included in the field when you try to save 30 % and see if that changes the behavior?

Well that's a big "duh"! Solved the problem. Just didn't occur to us that we have to put the % sign in. We had tried 0.30. Thanks!
