Managing Tasks › Resource Utilization › Edit Resource Utilization

Edit Resource Utilization

When you adjust the fields on the Project: Tasks: Resource Utilization page, the graph displays accordingly. For example, if you enter the name of a new task or ID, data in the other cells change to reflect resource utilization for that task. Or, if you change the start or finish dates for a task, the time cells in the graph change to reflect the new dates.

In addition, if you change the name or ID of the task, the change is reflected on the Project: Tasks: Task List and Project: Tasks: Work Breakdown Structure pages, and on the staff assignment pages.
