Up until now any project or task relevant to resource planning calculated planned effort by default as task duration multiplied by task resource utilization factor. This is fine for clients who generally check and maintain planned efforts by task. Clients who do not can turn off resource planning and not plan task resources at all. However several clients who do not wish to default the calculation of planned effort have asked to use our resource planning tool, so we made an enhancement today to allow you to make planned efforts when maintained by a planner relevant to the resource planning tool but not to calculate planned effort by default. You do this by turning on planning & utilization in your project type and turning it off in your task type setting
