GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 306979
Material type resources unimplemented
Last modified: 2021-06-09 20:33:31 UTC
Please describe the problem: The goal is to manage a small computer test lab with planner. Minimum setup is a resource "manpower" and a resource "laboratory space". If create a new task "testing" which means that a machine is going under test. I expect that the test will take me one workday of effort. So the task is entered with a workload of 1 day. Then I assign resources: "Laboratory space" is occupied for 100% until the task is completed "Manpower" is only available at 10% since I have other things to do as well. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new project 2. Create ressources "manpower" (work) and "laboratory space" material 3. Create task "testing" and assing 100% laboratory space and 10% work to it. 4. See the Gantt chart Actual results: The Gantt chart shows that the task is finished in one day duration. Expected results: Since the manwpower to fulfill the task is only available at 10% I would have expected the task to have a duration of 10 days. That's also what happens if I assign the 10% manpower only, but if I assign the laboratory space at 100% the task duration is calculated based only on the 100% of laboratory space. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: The question is, which concept of resources is implemented. My concept was that I have a resource "laboratory" space that is sort of binary, if a machine is tested then the assigned space is occupied 100% until the task is finished and I need to have an overview about how many instances of "laboratory space" are free at a certain moment. Am I expecting too much from planner?
Special casing material resources simply hasn't been implemented yet.

This is a show stopper for me. I'd vote for this bug, but I don't think this bug tracker supports voting.

I'd like to see the priority and severity of this bug increased. I'd like to recommend planner to my CS students as a simple-yet-complete open source tool for project management, but as mentioned before this is a serious stopper.
