Some tasks I receive take too much time for me to complete them by the reporting date based upon the number of other project tasks I am running. For example, Einstein sent me a project that will require about 20 hours on my machine. No way that will complete. But Einstein also sends me tasks that will take perhaps five hours that I do want to run. Rather than manually aborting projects I would like to set a filter based upon time to completion on the particular computer and reject those that take too much time. Is this possible? How about a new feature?
Kind regards,
Michael
Hi Michael,
Projects may send you work that your comptuer may not completed in time when you first join, but the software (and project scheduler typically) is built to track return rate and adjust what work is sent to your comptuer. There shouldn't be a need to abort tasks manually and I am not sure the impact this has on the learning process. It takes time for the software to learn the amount of time your computer is available on average then adjust its ask for work.
There is no way to my knowledge to restrict what work units are sent to an individual machine.
You may consider joining projects with typically shorter work units if your use pattern does not allow task to complete. Though if the shorter tasks from Einstein work for you then it is likly a matter of time unitl those tasks are all what you get (as long as the tasks are avaiable from the project depending on the level of demand).
I hope this helps.
