Resource InspectorĪssign and keep track of the work done by personnel and other project resources using the Resource inspector. If there’s a piece of work that must happen on a certain day and time, setting it up in the Scheduling section is a breeze.

OmniPlan 4 introduces support for scheduling tasks manually. If you’re getting really detailed, you can also customize attributes-scheduling, descriptive details, dependencies, and more-for selected tasks with this inspector. Here you can see which resources are assigned to each task, adjust resource contributions, and add or remove existing resources from a given task. Task Inspectorįine-tune the details of individual tasks in your project using the Task inspector. This inspector allows you to set a slack limit for the project’s critical paths, monitor critical paths to individual milestones, and choose the color you prefer to highlight critical paths (so that your projects are on-schedule and color-coordinated). Milestones Inspectorįollow the critical path and track the time between project milestones with the Milestones inspector. With the Project inspector, you can set how the project is scheduled (including start and end dates), how your project displays units of time and currency, the number of hours in a work week, and more. This inspector contains all the tools you need to edit information related to the project as a whole-from title to file type and everything in between. Kick off a new project’s structure and chronological flow with the Project inspector. Here’s your guide to the most-used controls available now.

So, is there a way to make Omniplan assign a group of people to a task while not splitting the effort time among them? Or is there some other way how to achieve my goal without splitting the task into 4 simultaneous tasks, each for a developer?ĮDIT: it works when I keep duration fixed and add resources one by one, but that is quite clumsy since eventually I need this done many times.OmniPlan 4 is home to a variety of reimagined and redesigned inspectors (the panes on the right side of the main window that contain information and controls related to what you’ve selected) to help you find the things you need, and take control of those things once you’ve found them. Thus, splitting the work among the members is the one thing I don`t want Omniplan to do.Īn obvious solution would be to multiply the effort time but that also increases the duration, which is unthinkable since I know the task can be done in aproximately 4 days :). As a result, the cost is trimmed to: 175*8*4 = 5600. However, Omniplan splits the 4 days effort among the developers, making each of them work only for a day. The cost of the task should be (with 4 days task effort and 4 developers): 175*4*8*4 = 22400.

Let`s say that each member`s cost/hour is 175 (currency doesn`t matter now) and that a day contains 8 working hours I know they should be finished with the work within 4 days - setting the task`s duration and effort is easy too.

I want to assign the team of developers to work on the implementation - that`s easy. Let`s have a group of resources called 'Developers' Let`s have a task called 'Software implementation' I will try to use a short example to depict my problem: This is probably a newbie question, since I`ve only used Omniplan for a day or 2 so far :).
