User Forum > Too Many Overdrive "Employees"

I have created several schedules that will be completed entirely by offsite workers. Therefore, I have assigned those tasks to virtual members and enabled the overdrive function on their accounts. However, the schedules are still going into the "red."

How is this possible? I though that overdrive scheduling was supposed to ignore member availability.

Hi Donna,
Overdrive still honors dependencies and any explicit "delay untils" that you have set. So if you have two tasks with a dependency, the first one still must finish before the second one.

Given that, I would suggest sending an email to support support@liquidplanner.com, and we can walk through the schedule with you.

Thank you! I checked the schedules in the red, which I had duplicated from one master schedule. Many of them had retained the dependencies from the master schedule for some of the tasks.

I have reset the dependencies to the correct schedules and that fixed the problem.
