Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Leveling resources, part of Microsoft Project 2010 Essential Training.
- The level resources feature…delays and splits assignments to help you…get rid of over-allocations.…You can level the entire project…or just the portions that are giving you the most trouble.…I'm gonna display the resource usage view…and when I do that I can see…that the Office Manager is over-allocated.…I've got red text and that's an indication…of resource over-allocation.…Well, I wanna get rid of those over-allocations.…Well, the first thing I'm gonna do…is I'm gonna display the Level in Gantt.…
I click the bottom half of Team Planner button…on the Resource tab and then choose Level in Gantt.…Now, I wanna see my task bars in the timescale.…So, I'm gonna go up to the Quick Access toolbar…and click Scroll to Task.…Now, I can see all of my taskbars.…And the Office Manager's name is all over these tasks.…Well, let's turn off the summary tasks as well…and go to the Format tab…and turn off the summary tasks check box.…Now, I'll go back to the Resource tab…and the first thing we're gonna do…is set leveling options.…
