Hi to all,
suppose have two project P1 and P2 that share resource through a resource pool file.
The schedule of P1 & P2 is then frozen.

Now add to the pool a new project P3 with same resource on pool.
Make a first draft schedule... and you notice that are some overallocation on resource (becouse shared with P1 & P2).
Do you want level resource on P3, but only in P3 (to use not-allocated work time of resource working on P1 & P2).

The only way that I know to do it, it's change priority into P1 & P2 task, setting it to maxium (1000 value). But I don't want lose those information! (could be usefull in future in case of changes).

So... the question is: how can I avoid to make levelling on P1 & P2...and level only P3?

Thank you!

Best Regards.
