Hi,
I'm using MSProject to manage my Small Services companie's operations. This has become especially useful for allocating resources to jobs. My employees are assigned to tasks full time/day. Therefore, they are either working on a task(job), or not. I have different groups of people that I assign to different jobs. So: cooks, cleaners, drivers.
So, my employee/resource structure looks like:
Group Name: Cooks
Resource Name: Cook 1 (Bob)
Resource Name: Cook 2 (Sharon)
Group Name: Cleaners
Resource Name: Cleaner 1 (Ann)
Resource Name: Cleaner 2 (Whitney)
Resource Name: Cleaner 3 (Steve)
and so on.....
I can show the resources table per resource name, with the tasks listed below their names. On the right hand side of the screen is a table showing total hours allocated per task. While this is great for most, I would like to see a Ghantt Chart showing that people are assigned to a task from this time to that time. Ideally, I would like to see the Ghantt chart with the name of the task insde the bubble. This will allow me to see if there are conflicts with tasks and give me a quick visual impact of who is employed on what task. Is it possible to do this? I've tried creating a custom view but I still get the table of hours in the detailed resource view, not a Ghantt chart. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Monty
