Introduction
For planning purposes, it works best if you can have an eye on Resource Utilization across the project portfolio. That’s why when planning Resources for a Project in a Single Project View, you see the Tasks that aren’t connected to that specific Project. The Tasks are on the background to let you know the Resource is already booked.
That gives you the control to decide if you are going to change the schedule or find another Resource with the same skills. However, when it comes to getting an actual overview, the grey Taskbars that were your best friends just a few minutes ago, are now in the way of having a clear picture of what’s going on. Similarly, the gray Taskbars are the reason why you cannot simply take a screenshot of the schedule and add it to the presentation you are preparing for the client or other stakeholders.
To solve this problem and to give you yet another tool for creating a better overview, you can choose if the grey Taskbars (i.e. placeholders) are displayed or not. In case of single Project Views, you can choose if you want to view all Resources, or just the ones in use. Additional Visibility Settings for Utilization and Resource availability are included. This includes both Custom and Project Views.
Must-know about this feature
You can select if the Taskbars that aren’t meeting the filter criteria or aren’t a part of the specific Project are displayed or not. You can also choose the option to display the Gantt chart but not the data on the Gantt chart. In addition to a clearer overview, this feature creates a possibility to view the Resource Utilization in the specific View. If you choose to hide the placeholders altogether, the Resource Utilization will be recalculated. In addition, you can choose which Resource availability information to display (Utilization %, available time, busy time) and if you want to see the Utilization Graphs for Resources and/or Resource Groups for this particular View. These settings are View specific, not general.
