Hi, I am new to ProjectLibre. I am wondering how to solve the following problem of a resource having a limited input on a project per day and the resultant period over which that task would be completed.

Example

Resource1 works 1 hours on a project per day.

Task duration = 8 hours.

Therefore, Task completion time should be 8 working days. If it started 30.10.13 then it would be completed 08.11.13 (8 working days later).

How do I implement this?

I had been trying to set the Resource Availability using "Max. Units" and setting it to 6% to give an approximate restricted use.

However, when setting "Task Information" and the "Work:" at 8 hours, I expected the dialog to automatically show the Duration to be 8 days based on the assigned Resource. 

You can set the Duration manually for 8 days and the Work at 8 hours. Is that the correct way of managing things?

I wonder if it should be somehow automatic depending on the Resource's contribution to a project on a daily basis.

Hope this makes sense!

Thanks for contributions in advance.
