6.1. Single and Multiple Resource tasks

The system supports two kinds of tasks, Single-resource tasks and Multiple-resource tasks.

Single-resource tasks are assigned to exactly one of the set of resources allocated to it. The resources are known as candidate resources. If the task has more than one resource in the resource table of the schedule editing dialog, the scheduler selects the best candidate to assign the work to (more information).

For Multiple-resource tasks, the scheduler divides the work among all the resources assigned to the task. The user may specify how the work is to be divided (more information).
