Resource views

[JKarchner]

I am very new to project, so i am not quite sure how things work. I am using
a resource pool that is associated with several different projects. I would
like to view the tasks the resources are associated to for a particular
project. When i try to do something like it, i get a view that displays all
of the tasks across all of the projects. many of these tasks were labeled
the same by my predecessor, and i would like to avoid having to go through
and rename all of the tasks.

Hi,

You can always insert a column named "Project". That should make the
difference.

On a similar note, is there a view from within either the resource pool
or a consolidated project file that allows you to see the resource
utilisation on individual projects without seeing the detailed task list?

To summarise, I would like to view something like the resource
utilisation view. However, rather than seeing individual tasks below
each name, I would like to see something like the summary line for each
project showing how that resource has been allocated to each of the
projects to which they contribute.

Many thanks.

Hi Dave,

One Yes and one Yes but it's complicated

Yes: open the project you want to see the resource usage of WITHOUT opening
the pool. Resource usage now only shows the tasks of that project (and the
right totals)

Totals per resource/project

Open the pool, Resource Usage view
Project, Group By, More Groups, New
In teh Group definition window:
Enter a name
Check on Group Assignments, Not resources
Group On Name, field type=resoruce
Then On Project, field type=assignment

OK, apply.
Hope this helps

Hi Jan

Outstanding - and not even complicated (although I won't pretend that I
would have found it on my own).

Many thanks indeed.
