OK so I have 10 projects sharing a resource pool.

I'm in one project and I see in the Team Planner that I have a resource conflict. So I click on a conflicting task in the Team Planner and I get the message;

'xyz' is a summary resource assignment
'This external task represents work from a different project, and is read only. to drag this task or edit details. you must first open 'xyz'

or something very similar.

My problem is that whilst each of my projects is named, the tasks within them do not carry the project name so it is difficult for me to identify in which project task xyz is located.



So to use an example I'm a road repairer with 10 projects. I see that I have a resource conflict I get the message as above which says 'fill in holes' is a summary resource assigment'..... How do I work out which of my road repair projects this relates to ?

I notice that the outline numbering does not carry through to the team planner so I can't use that as an ID. Do I have to prefix all tasks within a project with a unique project code ? eg so i get P001 Fill in Holes.. or am I missing a much easier way ?

Any suggestions welcomed
