Resource Histogram Preferences Dialog Box

The resource histogram view displays resource and cost data against a time scale. It is useful for modeling project resources because you can compare resource assignments to availabilities.

You can also view the overall usage of a resource (or a group of resources) over the time span of the project.

Use the Histogram Preferences dialog box to set the resource histogram parameters of a project.

Attention: For more information about resource histogram, see Resource Histogram Overview.
