Resources Remaining Availability

[Kirsten]

At this time I am viewing the Resource Usage View and can see when each of my
resources have available time. But I am putting all that on paper.

Is there a way/report for me to see each resource and the timeframe in which
they have availability?

Example:
Sally Smith works from 3/1/10-5/1/10 but is available from 5/1/10-8/1/10. I
need to only know that Sally Smith is available for work between 5/1 and 8/1.

Your help/suggestions are welcome.

Look under the filters option for a Resource Availabilty filter. I believe
there is one there but I haven't used it lately.

I am not seeing in the filter option a Resource Availability filter.

Hmmm, are you on 2003 or 2007? If on 2007 have you looked at the Resource
Availability or the Resource Work Availability reports to see if they work
for your need?

 

[Kirsten]

I am on MS2007. I have looked at the reports. The Who Does What is the
structure I would want, but can't seem to get it to just pull Resource
Availability only.

OK. Here are a couple of other suggestions to consider.

If you have PWA then there is a Resource Availability view and graph which
may give you what you need.

In Resource Usage you can roll everything up to the resource level and then
change the timescale to either week or month. At that point you could print
the display to have a hardcopy to work from.

Hello Kirsten,

Select the Who Does What When report in the Assignment reports
dialog, click Edit. On the crosstab report dialog box, click the
Definition tab and in the middle portion, select Work
Availability from the drop-down instead of Work.

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

The default view for Resource usage displays "Work" as shown in the details
column. Right mouse click on the word "Work" and a dialog box appears
allowing you to choose remaining availability. You can print that view with
the time phased availability shown. In addition to the other fields shown,
you can also select detail styles and select other time phased data such as
BCWS.
