Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Trevor,

After you resource load, How do you populate the manhour graph by either "tasks" or "roles". Please advise?

Hi

If I have to allocate a gang of 75 carpenters for the entire project, should I enter 7500% in the max units column in the resource sheet and later as per the quantum of work in the task and duration I enter the required carpenters for them?

Is this correct?

 

Rohit

There are several ways, some of which are not recommended.
This one is good:
Go to the Resource Sheet View and create and define them first.
Then go to the Gantt Chart View, select a task and use the assign resources icon/button on the toolbar to show the Assign Resources dialog... etc.
