Hi All,

I've got a task that has a single person assigned at 100% of 100% for 3 days. The normal work schedule is 9AM-Noon, 1PM - 6 PM. When I set up the task with the start and end dates using the default daily schedule, Omniplan gives me anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes extra on the duration. When i set the duration to 3 days, it fiddles the end time for the task.

I'm not sure what's going on or why, so any explanations would be appreciated.

It's usually hard to tell exactly what is going on from a verbal description and no idea of the context. I would suggest you use Help->Send Feedback in the app to send a sanitized copy of your document to the support ninjas (tell them the task ID of the offending task, because the text will just be Task 1, Task 2, etc.)

What is your scheduling granularity, and how are you setting the start and end times of this particular task? Have you changed the efficiency of the resource you've assigned?

I'm also seeing efforts displayed as fractions of days. My tasks start on day one at 8 am and end on day X at 5 (which is what my work calendar considers an entire day: 8-5). However, I end up with efforts that are fractional. I've been able to edit some manually, others seem linked to other fractional tasks and changing one just cascades into the next.

All tasks are set to begin as early as constraints allow. Which, strangely, seems to reset at times to begin on a set date. Different thread.

I can provide more detail. But help would be appreciated.

Again, same suggestion. You can also make an anonymized copy of your document by going through the Help->Send Feedback route and saving a copy of the attachment to your desktop before (or instead of) sending it. Zip it up and attach it to a post here and I'll take a look at it, maybe the support ninjas are backed up right now...

I can't find the anonymized file on my system. The Feedback dialog says it's going to have a name consisting of part of my email address and date. Can't find it w/ Searchlight. Any thoughts?

Once you've got the message composed, simply drag the attachment to the desktop.
