- PROJECT PREFERENCES: IGNORE RESOURCE CALENDAR WHEN CREATING NEW BARS

- PROJECT PREFERENCES: APPLY EFFORT DRIVEN…
When a resource is assigned to an activity, the activity’s duration is determined by the amount of effort applied to that activity. This is the default behavior. You can set individual activities to be “Fixed Duration” by selecting that option in the activity’s Information form.
