How to See an Activity's Assigned Resources

How to See an Activity's Assigned Resources

The Resources tab lists the resources assigned to the selected activity.

The tab covers one activity at a time.

Scope

This tab answers which resources are on the selected activity. It does not show what else those resources are committed to, which is the question the Resource Assignment view answers.

An empty tab is normal

Many schedules carry logic and dates with no resource loading at all. An empty tab means the activity has no assignments in the file rather than a failure to read them. If every activity is empty, the schedule is not resource loaded.

Resource data in the table

Resource fields are also available as activity table columns, including budgeted and actual units and cost where the schedule carries them. Adding those columns is how you review resource data across many activities at once rather than one at a time.

Resource data is included in an export only when Export Resources is ticked in the Export dialog. See Export schedule data.
