Assignments VS Task Duration

Effort Driven Scheduling

By default, When multiple resources are assigned to a task the task's duration is automatically reduced to reflect the multiple assignments.

Duration before resource assignment

Duration after resource assignment

When a resource has a custom schedule then the following logic is used to calculate the duration of the task. Similarly when a task is assigned a resource partially:

- Divide the task's effort equally between all the assigned resources.

- Compute the required duration for each resource to complete their assigned portion.

- The task's duration will be the largest of these individual resource-durations.

Fixed Duration Scheduling

Alternatively you can turn off this behavior and prevent the duration from changing when multiple resources are assigned by setting this:

In HTML

$gantt_container.GanttControl({

DataSource: jsonData,

AdjustDurationOnAssignment: false,

});

In ASP.NET MVC

@Html.JQProjectGantt(

new JQProjectGanttSettings()

{

ControlId = "gantt_container",

DataSourceUrl = new Uri("/Home/GanttControlItemSource", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute),

Options = new ProjectGanttOptions()

{

AdjustDurationOnAssignment = false

}

});

In ASP.NET

<RQ:GanttControl ID="gantt" AdjustDurationOnAssignment="false"

DataSourceUrl="../../TaskListHandler.ashx" runat="server" >

</RQ:GanttControl>

This is illustrated in this samples:
