Float On
Resources are consumed based on the number of resources defined against the work unit. Resources will only be consumed up to the Float Consumption Max value set against the work unit. 

Float Specific
The max consumption rates values will apply to all work units.
 

Using Float On when LESS resources are available
 

  1. Right click on the work unit and select edit
  2. Set the value of Resources to 1
  3. Click on the Schedule Tab and select Float On
  4. Schedule an operation at 09:00 (8 hours run time / 2 resources)


There are less resources to that required by the operation.  However, due to float being enabled, scheduling is permitted. The operation will be scheduled for 8 hours using one resource instead of the two  defined in the operation. Elapsed time is 8 hours.
