Synchronize resource capacity
The processes for resource synchronization help guarantee that information for the calendar and base calendar trickles down into project resource scheduling. If the calendar is changed, the processes make the required updates to the scheduling of project resources. The processes also help improve performance, because the calendar's resource information is synchronized in advance. Therefore, updates to resource scheduling information occur more quickly. We recommend that you schedule the processes as a batch instead of one at a time. Otherwise, there is a risk that someone will forget the inclusive dates when the information was last synchronized. If inclusive dates aren't used, gaps can occur during date synchronization.
Synchronize resource capacity roll-ups
The synchronization process is designed to synchronize all resource calendar information. This information includes base calendar information about any changes to the project's Resource calendar capacity table. If new resources are added in the project, synchronization helps guarantee that the updated calendar information is available. This synchronization can be done at any time.
We recommend that you use a batch. The options are available during synchronization of capacity reservations.
Select Project management and accounting > Periodic > Capacity synchronization > Synchronize resources capacity roll-ups.
