Configure View for Assignments Gantt

Background

The Assignments Gantt allows you to view resource requests, resource assignments, and time off for a specific project or across all projects and people within your company. It also provides a multi-day view from one day to three years.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

  • Totals

    Show/Hide Details

    • Resources is allocation-weighted and capped at 1 per resource, so a double-booked resource does not inflate the count above the number of resources actually on the project.

    • Partial allocation is respected across every metric.
      Example: A resource assigned at 50 percent on an 8-hour shift at 100 per hour reads Hours 4, Days 0.5, Cost 400, and Resources 0.5.

    • Projects View

      • Totals count assignments and open requests together, and include work scheduled before a project starts or after it ends.

      • Equipment assignments count alongside people, deduplicated per resource.

    • Resources View

      • Open requests are included in Resources only. Requests carry no hours or cost, so Hours, Days, and Cost remain assignment-only.
