Workload Balancer-multiple assignment tasks shows time for all, although some assignees have completed the task work

Hi @cbuckwal, 

It sounds like the Workload Balancer definition of completed work is at the Task level, which would be fine when there is only one assignee (since, upon saying "Done My Part", the Task would also be designated as Done, and therefore removed from view with the Show Completed Work set to "off").

Assuming that is the case, natively, you could re-jig your templates and project plans so that each such Task is 1:1 with end users (e.g. if it is a 5 person meeting, insert 5 sub-tasks with one assignee on each). But that could be a lot of extra work, particularly if the Tasks in question are "small and often". You could also procedurally (or automatically, using Fusion) "zero out" any remining hours when a person says they are done...but in addition to that extra effort, that would also skew the reality of the situation (e.g. Wanda finished her 40 hours in 20...but it would then just show 20).

In my opinion, it is more useful and valuable to be able to filter Resourcing and Capacity plans at the Assignment level (e.g. excluding such Done With My Part hours, among other things).

Regards,

Doug
