Summary Task Availability

[IbanezJem]

Hello!
I'm wondering if in the Resource Usages views, is there a way to display
remaining availability for summary tasks only?

Thanks in advance

lbanezJem,
The Resource Usage view doesn't show summary line information because
summary lines should not have any resources assigned (see FAQ 49 -
Summary Task Resources on the MVP website
at:http://www.mvps.org/project/faqs.htm)

Why do you think you want to see Remaining Availability for summary
tasks?

Thanks John!
Actually, I don't, my client does. I have a client that believes that MS
project should handle his reousrouce management in a traditional way along
with his project. Which I know when dealing with forcasting, is really in
direct opposition...however, I needed to ask this question as I has no
suitable answer other than, Geesh...you really don't get it.

Thank You Again!

Perhaps you can clarify what your client (and therefore you) want to
accomplish regarding resource management. There may very well be a way to
meet this need.

As to the original question, I will just add the clarification that asking
for Remaining Availability for a task, summary task, or project fundamentally
doesn't make sense. This piece of information relates to resources and and
is visible at that level only...which is probably part of your "doesn't get
it" comment.
