Entering Resource Assignments

You can enter resource assignments in several ways.

The Resources Tab of the Activity Details Dialog Box

To enter resource assignments using the Activity Details dialog box, display the dialog box, and click the Resources tab. Open Plan allows you to enter resource information in Normal or Time Phase mode.

Spreadsheet views

Open Plan allows you to display and, in some cases, update resource assignment information in a spreadsheet view.

Attention: For more information, see Displaying Resource Assignments in Spreadsheet Views.

Barchart Views

Open Plan includes two standard barchart views for displaying resource assignment information — activity/resource barcharts and resource/activity barcharts. Both of these types of views are designed primarily for reporting purposes and have limited data input features.

Attention: For more information, see Displaying Resource Assignments in Barchart Views.
