Intermediate video tutorials

	Skills In this video tutorial, you will discover how to define and use skills to precise task requirements; how to enrich resource profiles with skills; how to require simultaneously more than one skill. Tags: Skill A skill is an additional competence used in relation to the assignment of roles to tasks. Use of skills is not mandatory. Skills allow the user to define task requirements and resources more precisely. Task requirement A task requirement is composed of one or more roles and skills that are necessary for the achievement of the task.
	Task groups In this video tutorial, you will discover how to create task groups from an existing task group or from scratch; how to make a better use of the Wbs Gantt chart to define and precise your projects. Tags: Task A task is an activity which is carried out by resources within a definite duration. Wbs Gantt chart The Wbs Gantt chart is the decomposition of the project's goals and objectives into increasingly detailed units of work, eventually identifying all tasks that are essential to the project's successful completion.
	Categories In this video tutorial, you will discover how to create and use categories; how to use the category filter; how to link projects together through dependency links; how to use categories to filter results. Tags: Category A category is complementary information that can be associated to a task or resource. This information can be used to filter data displayed in the different views and screens of PlanningForce.
	Progress In this video tutorial, you will discover how to encode progress percentages; how to update automatically the predecessors through progress encoding; how to use date constraints in the Ideal Gantt; how to improve results through a load curves analysis. Tags: Progress Ideal Gantt Load curves Predecessor A predecessor is a task (or activity) that must be started or finished before another task or milestone can be performed.
	Resource planning In this video tutorial, you will discover how to schedule directly and namely your resources how to schedule simultaneously named resources and through role requirements Tags: Resource A resource represents a person, a group of people, a subcontractor, etc, who can be scheduled on one or several tasks. Role A role is a main competence associated to a person; it also expresses what is required for a task to be done. The role is mandatory in PlanningForce to describe task requirements and people.
	Diverse In this video tutorial, you will discover how to make the most of contextual menus in the Task Manager; how to make the most of the right panels; how to use fast resource creation feature; how to rearrange the windows and panels; how to define and print Gantt views; how to copy data to the clipboard and use them into other programs.
	Coefficients (part 1) In this video tutorial, you will discover how to create and use several types of coefficients applied to resources how to analyze data from the resources Capacity curves Tags: Coefficient A coefficient is a set of values applied to tasks or resources to simulate the impact of events or factors which will affect its feasibility / availability or efficiency. Resource A resource represents a person, a group of people, a subcontractor, etc, who can be scheduled on one or several tasks. Capacity curves .
	Coefficients (part 2) In this video tutorial, you will discover how to create and use several types of coefficients applied to projects and tasks; how to create realistic plans; how to interpret data from the Results tools. Coefficient A coefficient is a set of values applied to tasks or resources to simulate the impact of events or factors which will affect its feasibility / availability or efficiency. Task A task is an activity which is carried out by resources within a definite time period.
	Levels In this video tutorial, you will discover how to create a level set; how to associate levels to roles; how to use role levels to specify a task requirement; how to impose or exclude some resources. Level A level is a grade or an experience that can be associated with an efficiency. Role A role is a main competence associated to a person; it also expresses what is required for a task to be done. The role is mandatory in PlanningForce to describe task requirements and people. Task A task is an activity which is carried out by resources within a definite time period. Task requirement A task requirement is composed of one or more roles and skills that are necessary for the achievement of the task.
