Edit Resource Utilization

When you adjust the fields on the resource utilization page of project tasks, 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. If you change the start or finish dates for a task, the time cells in the graph change to reflect the new dates.

A change to the name or ID of the task is reflected on the list and WBS pages of project tasks, and on the staff assignment pages.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the project.
  2. Open the Tasks menu and click Resource Utilization.

    The utilization page of project tasks appears.

  3. Edit the required information. The following fields require explanation:
    Start

    Defines the date to start working on the task.

    Default: Current date

    Note: A task work cannot start before the project start date. If the task has already started or finished, this field is not available.

    Finish

    Enter the date for completing the task.

    Default: Current date

    Note: A task work cannot finish after the project finish date. If the task has already started or finished, the field is not available.

  4. Save the changes.
