Julia said:Can you please let me know why you have advised ID again to see

The ID column which shows by default in the Resource Usage view as the
left most column (locked) is the Resource ID. You said earlier that you
wanted to see the IDs of the assignments as well. But inserting the ID
column into the Usage table you will be able to see the assignment IDs as
well.
I have modified Resource Usage and added columns except that I am unable
to insert a 'Delay' column when attempting to Insert Column and then
creating a Text field allocating 'Delay' to it. When attempting this,
the column was empty.
Try inserting the Assignment Delay field and the Leveling Delay field. The
Assignment delay field is the difference between the Task Start and the
Assignment Start. You may delay a Resource's assignment to a task in a
situation where you may wish one resource to start after another Resource
beings their work on a task. The Leveling Delay field is usually
populated if you delay assignments through the Resource Leveling command.
Once you have inserted the two fields, you can view Help information by
hovering your mouse over the column heading and choosing the Help on
[Field Name] hyperlink.
Regarding modification of the To Do Report, I wasn't quite sure but are
you > suggesting to use the Resource Usage (or Task Usage view) and add

Yes. The built in reports (such as the To-Do Report) are hard to modify
as you wanted. My suggestion about modification of the Resource Usage or
Task Usage view was in response to your comment about liking the
information available in the Resource Form.
You're welcome and thanks for the feedback.Julia said:Great thanks for your reply.
The left most column appears to be the 'Information' column and there
are no ID no.'s, just a blue 'Information' heading. Is this what you
are refering to?
I've inserted Levelling Delay field then Levelled 1 Resource and
nothing has populated the field, as mentioned. I'm not actually sure
what the levelling did. Is there a way to see what Project has done
compared to what was there before? The only thing I notice is that
the Task Summary is not red anymore.
Regarding Assignment Start, please can you let me know which field I
can enter the Assignment Start Date as it doesn't appear in Column
Definition?
Kind regards.

Hi Julia,
My suggestion is to create a new table or modify the existing table
applied to the Resource Usage view. Add the additional columns that
you like: ID, Project, ID (again to see Assignment IDs), Name,
Work, Leveling Delay, Delay, Start, and Finish.
You can then collapse the assignments for the other resources under
their name. If you wish, you could then insert page breaks to
force each resource to their own page.
Modification of the To Do Report is a bit tougher, but again, you
may get close to what you want by using the Task Usage view, adding
the additional fields: Project, Leveling Delay, Delay and then use
the Using Resource... filter to display only information for
specific resources. Then print that view with only the left side
visible.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Hi
The Resource Name Form has exactly the information I would like
for each Resource. The heading with the information I need are
Project, ID, Task Name, Work, Leveling Delay, Delay, Start,
Finish. I want to print this individually in this format for each
Resource.
I just checked Resource Usage View - this is ok but I want to see
just one individual Resource's Start and Finish dates in a similar
format to Resource Name Form.
I also checked To Do Report - This is better but the ID column is
'messy', as it shows "Week of 02 January" and on the next line "ID
2" and so on... Can I amend the layout to fit more neater to the
page?
Thank you

Hi Julia,
The Resource Name Form is used as the lower part of a combination
view and is not printable. If you wish to get a list of
assignments for a resource you could print the To Do list Report
or print a filtered view from the Resource Usage View. Perhaps
if you give us some additional information about what you mean by
a "print out of the schedule", we can better advise.
I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

No, usually the left most field showing in the table is the ID field. It
is light gray in color because it is usually locked. (It looks like the
row numbers you may see in Excel.) The column to the right of the ID
column that you refer to is the Indicator column.I've inserted Levelling Delay field then Levelled 1 Resource and nothing

The Resource Leveling command will only delay tasks where a resource is
overallocated. If you had no overallocated resources, it is possible that
the command didn't do anything. To view tasks that are delayed, take a
look at the Leveling Gantt. The green bars indicate where the task was
scheduled prior to leveling, the blue bars show where the task is now. If
you chose to allow project to level individual assignments on a task, the
task may not have been leveled but the assignment for a resource may have
delay.Regarding Assignment Start, please can you let me know which field I can
enter the Assignment Start Date as it doesn't appear in Column
Definition?
You will insert the Start field into the table. In the Resource Usage
View, the Start field added to the table (left side) shows both the date
the resource starts working in the project (in the row with the resource's
name). The assignment row (indented underneath the resource's name) shows
the assignment start date.
Generally, there is no need to enter the assignment start dates. They are
calculated by project based upon the start date of the task and the
resource's working calendar. Perhaps if you described further why you
want to enter assignment start dates I can assist further.Kind regards.
