Resource View

Resource View in the Resource Planning workspace is designed to help the resource manager understand future staffing needs, make sure that their employees are assigned to projects and fully utilized, determine if resources are scheduled correctly and workloads are balanced, and make hiring and layoff decisions.

Because of this focus on serving the resource manager, this view is forward looking only. It only displays resource assignments for which planned hours exist for dates later than the current job-to-date (JTD) date and only displays planned hours for calendar periods that include the JTD date or are later than the JTD date.

If you need a beginning-to-end, top-to-bottom view of resource assignments for a specific project, Project View, the other primary view in the Resource Planning workspace, provides that comprehensive scope.
