Displaying Resource Information on a Resource Histogram

Histogram views enables you to display different types of resource information in a graphical format.

The following are the types of resource information:

• Resource availabilities
• Resource assignments based on the early dates calculated by time analysis
• Resource assignments based on the late dates calculated by time analysis
• Resource assignments based on the scheduled dates calculated by resource scheduling. (These assignments can show the effects of splitting, stretching, and reprofiling activity durations.)
• Baseline resource assignments using the dates (early, late, or scheduled) selected at the time you created the baseline currently attached to the project
• Actual resource usage based on resource progress information

You can use a histogram view to display any of these items individually, or you can display all of them at the same time.

To select the resources to be displayed in the histogram, use the Resource Selection dialog box. To define the resource information appearing in a histogram view, use the Resources tab of the Histogram Preferences dialog box.
