Hello! I am currently working on a project which in some cases has 15-20 resources assigned to a single task. I have to display the resources in the Gantt chart, but when I print the schedule the text is too small due to 20 resources listed for one task.



To be clear, I am referring to resources listed within Bar Text in the Gantt Chart, not in columns (I have already hidden the resource column).

Does anyone know of a way to wrap Bar Text within the gantt chart?

You could use Format, Bar Styles to change the text on the bars from resource names to resource initials.
However, I would say that any task with 20 resources assigned probably needs to be chopped up into smaller pieces, so that each task has only 2 - 3 resources assigned (unless they are the members of an orchestra or something like that).

Thanks for the response.

Yeah, initials won't work. Not an orchestra, but not far from it in terms of size.

Agreed that typically a task should not have that many resources assigned - I assumed I would get that response - but this is a special case where I am building out a high level schedule for the next few years in which each task is a project in and of itself (though not an integrated project schedule as each task does not have a schedule built out yet), and each project affects multiple teams which is what I am trying to show.

With that said, any ideas on how I could show up to 20 resources for a task in a way that can be easily digested in a print out? Open to any ideas, doesn't have to be Bar Text.

Thanks

If it is a high level project, would it be possible to use the Resource Group field instead of individual resource names? Enter department or job description data for each resource and modify the bar styles to show resource groups.

The text field next to the bars cannot be wrapped.
