Multi-User Publication and Subscription ( Pro).Connecting to WebDAV Servers with OmniPresence.Connecting to Omni Sync Server with OmniPresence.What Does it Mean to Work in the Cloud?.Setting Up Single User Sync with OmniPresence.Microsoft Project Import and Export ( Pro).Can I do that without problems? I got a bit worried when you said that certain parameters should be set initially and could not be changed afterwards. Also, since tasks will certainly take different times to complete than I initially estimate, I’d like to freely change (as the project develops in time) the estimated duration of tasks to different values.I’d like to simply readjust the start date of the first task and have the dates of all the following (dependent) tasks to readjust accordingly, automatically.
Wouldn’t it work if I simply set the estimated duration for each task, without assigning any resource to it? It seems that it would be an immense waste of time if I am forced to assign the same resource to all of the tasks.But please note that I wouldn’t want to set any resources (people) because all of the tasks will be done by me (also, I already created almost 300 tasks in outline mode - as stated above). Thank you so much for your answer, rappa58. Their start dates will be affected automatically just by me readjusting the start time of their predecessors, right? I will really appreciate your answer, due to this enormous project that I must adjust ASAP, so I can finally have an idea of the finishing date of the project.Īnd if all goes well, all tasks will be correctly moved in time without me having to set their start date, because all I know is their estimated duration. I’m really in a hurry due to this crazy-making times and it will take a long time to do all this planning, so I’m asking this question since I’m very new to OP.
Omniplan scheduling effort and duration manual#
I read the manual but I’m a bit confused still. Set the estimated time for each task (this is my main question): in which field should I set the estimated duration of time the tasks will take, so that they correctly move in time proportionally when I adjust their predecessors start date? I guess I am confused because there are fields that affect a task’s starting date, some of them being relatted to “Effort” and other fields where we can input specific dates. Set hundreds of dependencies (mostly “this task only begins after that one is finished”) Please note that I don’t need to adjust any resources (people) - because all of the tasks must be done by me. I already created almost three hundred tasks in an outline view (structuring initially “father>child & brothers” relations). Please, I’d like to understand which parameter should I set (Effort? Duration?) so that OP will move all of the dependent tasks by the same amount of days, when a predecessor’s task’s starting time is readjusted. If someone could help me with this I would be very grateful. OmniPlan has many features I like and want. This one issue has been causing me a lot of frustration, to the point where I have been considering trying MS Project or Smart Sheet. I want my plan to show exact start time and duration. I don’t really care about effort right now. However, when I get to the 3rd or 4th task, say the first task is 2 hours long, the next task is 3 hours long, then 3rd task is 3 hours long, and the 4th task is 3 hours long, and the resource is working a 12 hour day, then by the time I get to the 4th task if the effort says 4 hours the duration will say 3 hours and so on. Now when I enter the first task, OmniPlan is fine and does it right. So if I have a task start at 9am and last for 4 hours, I want it to finish at 1pm, because it is 4 hours long. Now the problem I am having is I want OmniPlan to show the exact plan or an accurate plan. And there will be a few other people involved, I will end up doing 90% of tasks.
However, although I am no expert, I have been using OmniPlan on and off for over 2 years now. I have been trying to go through the learning material on Lynda website.
