The following video illustrates creating a project by dragging the Gantt chart of a template project onto the schedule.
A new house of type Type 124 is to be build with completion no later than week 8.
A type Type 124 project template is dragged onto the schedule. We have grabbed the template in its "Roofing" activity, as it is one of the latest to be finished.
As we drag the template along the plan, we monitor how well it fits into the plan. (You can let Multi Project Planner do the monitoring. See Just in Time scheduling).
Finally at week 8 we have the greatest fit. So we'll force the template down here, resulting in a hot potato.
In this example we'll handle the hot potato int the carpenter row.
finally we'll do an automatic allocation, to see whether or not we have got the power to man the activities.
A red triangular flag was raised at the carpenter activity, indicating problems with the timing.
