Gantt bar text labels - possible to put resource hours against the bars?
If I go into bar styles on the gantt chart area, I can select the drop down that allows me to put resource names against each bar.
However, it always shows the percentage allocation Eg. Design Engineer [80%], Design Manager [20%] Is it possible to get it to show the hours instead? So that it would say: Design Engineer [32h], Design Manager [8h] Percentages mean nothing to me or my colleagues who would be more concerned with budgeted hours than percentage allocations over time. Or are there any other views that might allow me show programme activities, resources against that activity and each resources budgeted hours? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.... |

Add custom text field in the Gantt chart view.
Customize the field to add the following formula: [Resource Names] & " " & [Work]/60 & " Hours " Right click in the Gantt chart to show the shortcut menu and select Bar Styles. Select the bar style for normal tasks, and click the Text tab. Change the field shown on the right to [Text1] or whatever text field you customized. This will show total work. You may also find the Task Usage view valuable. I will show each task and then a line for each assignment. The view automatically shows work for each assignment. |

Thanks Julie, I think that's some of what I require. Learnt something new with the custom fields bit from your response for sure.
However, a custom field like this lists all the resources with their percentage allocation and then the total work. I'm after something more like task usage as you suggest - where the work in hours is against each resource rather than a percentage. But I'd also like to keep the gantt chart view. Thanks in advance. |

I'm afraid there is no combination of both the Task Usage and Gantt chart. The data in the Gantt chart is pulling from all resources assigned. Only the Task Usage view will show you the individual assignments (resource+ task).

Ok, thanks Julie, that was the impression I was getting via a search on google too, but thought I'd ask
Thanks! |
