Add Main Task to Resource Usage View?

[tommcbrny]

Hello,

Is there a way to include the main task to the Resource Usage view in Project?

I need to do manual contouring to split resources among simultaneous tasks.
The resource usage view shows only the subtask name and not the main task
with which it is associated. Many sub tasks in my project have the same name
(development, testing, rollout, etc), and I'd like to see the main task to
keep things straight if possible.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Sorry, the Resource Usage view doesn't show summary tasks. However, you
can add the Task Summary Name field to the table (left side) of the view
to see the assignment's summary task.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
