Spatial resources cannot be modeled as Renewable Resources. Spatial resources we model as consumable resources, therefore we track them using Materials Gantt.

Materials are consumable resources that must be available ("leveled") in order for the schedule to be viable. If materials become depleted activities can be interrupted until more become available.
Material Gantt among other things can show:
the activities for each material as well as the activity interruptions
diagrams that show inventories level and materials consumption rate
parameter values for materials available in this view but not in Activity Gantt.
Rarely my jobs are limited by materials to the point materials leveling is necessary. In rare ocassions when materials must be leveled in our jobs these are frequently a driving constraint. It may seem an exageration to level materials easily available such as cement and sand but in remote location these can become critical.
As a list, it could be done via Resource Assignments. Santosh explained it well. If you ask about the resource Gantt Chart, Primavera can't do it. You need to export your schedule to another tool. At least Spider Project has Resource Gannt

You could use Primavera P3 from about 1985 ?
You could:
Export a spreadsheet with the Activities sheet which has an extra blank text UDF, and the Resource Assignments
Concatenate the resource assigments into the Activity Sheet UDF
Import the spreadsheet
Use the UDF as a barchart label
Luckily, offspring #4 is an Excel guru, and I get this stuff done very quickly!

Not in the Activity Tab, but this can be done in the Resource Assignments view.
Think of it this way:
And in the Assignments view, you have options to group, sort filter and display columns just like in the activity view (
You can see what can be presented on this page I wrote some time ago: Primavera P6 Views and Layouts | Australasian Project Planning (austprojplan.com.au)
