We are using CMP2 for doing workforce planning in our
Organization, we attach resources to activities, now the issue is we want
to put an end date to the resource attached so that the particular resource
does not appear in 'CMP2'.
P.S - we have tried by attaching resource to WBS too,
it doesn't work.
Answer
In CMP2 - mark the relevant line - press the bottom with
the pencil - make a new end date and save.
Next time, you enter CMP2 the start date has to be after
the end date you entered.
Be aware that the end date affect the work list for the
person in CATS.
