Resource/Assignment Table

This option opens the Resource/Assignment Tables screen, which allows you to format the appearance of the Resource/Assignment Table. You can define any number of table layouts by clicking the button on the toolbar in the screen. The layout that is selected when clicking the OK button is applied.

The following table describes the fields on this screen shown below:

For each resource/assignment table layout, specify the columns you want to see in the resource/assignment table by adding them to the data grid. A row in the data grid is equivalent to a column in the resource/assignment table.

Field Description
Click to insert a new table layout. By default, new layouts are called New Table #, where # starts as 01 and is incremented by 1.
Click to create a copy of the currently selected table layout.
Click to delete the currently selected table layout.

 Layouts are deleted immediately. You are not asked to confirm the deletion.

Click to rename the currently selected table layout.
Click to open the Default Field Formats screen.

When you lock a column, all columns to the left of the selected column (or above the selected column in the data grid) will also be locked. If you unlock a column, all columns to the right of the selected column (or below the selected column in the data grid) will also be unlocked.

Field Select the name of the field to be displayed from the drop-down list.

The supplied drop-down list contains all resource-related fields, both system as well as user-defined fields, in alphabetical order.

The column width can also be changed directly in the resource/assignment table by dragging the column separator in the header area left or right.
