Scheduling equipment resources available 24/7

#1

I’m trying to schedule computational tasks on two servers that run 24/7. I created tasks first, but the scheduling constraints for them seem to be based on a 5-day, 40 hour week. How do I set up tasks so they can be carried on 24/7?

I’m no expert, but my guess is that you should create the servers as resources and change their work hours to 24/7, then assign those servers as the resources handling the computational tasks.

@jeffreyberger This Support article covers how to set up a task with an “elapsed time” duration: https://support.omnigroup.com/op-lead-lag-time/

Hope this helps!

Thanks cpac. I did finally find a way. Equipment resources are already 24/7. A combination of setting the Project Work Week to 24/7 and specifying Project/Effort Unit Conversions: 1 work day = 24 hours seems to give me what I need.
