Spread Curves Dialog Box

The Spread Curve dialog box displays a list of spread curves that you can use when assigning resources to an activity.

Spread Curve	Description
B - Back Load	Most of the resource effort is allocated toward the end of the duration.
D - Double Peak	Most of the resource effort is allocated to two peaks - one near the beginning of the duration and one near the end.
E - Early Peak	Most of the resource effort is allocated near the beginning of the duration.
F - Front Load	Most of the resource effort is allocated at the beginning of the duration.
L - Late Peak	Most of the resource effort is allocated near the end of the duration.
N - Normal (Bell)	The resource effort starts with a minimal effort, gradually increases to the middle of the duration, and then tapers off.
