Resource Pool

When working on multiple projects while using a single resourse pool, when looking at the resource sheet, is there a way to clearly view where all your resource is located and when you have over allocated, by how much? ie what is your shortfall in resource?

RE: Resource Pool

Hi Rupert

Thank you for your question. One approach might be to split your resource sheet view and make the bottom part of the split the resource graph. This would show the peaks and troughs of your resource's availability.

Let us know if you need further information or have other questions. Kind regards,

Andrew

Ms project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
