Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Go to Resource Usage view and define a new filter “Resource Base Calendar is Night Shift” where;

  • Field Name = Base Calendar
  • Test = equals
  • Value(s) = Night Shift

It will display only activities with assigned resources whose base calendar is Night Shift. Therefore, in order to identify night shift activities these must already have been assigned a resource with a night shift base calendar. If you want to exclude activities with assigned calendar resource, exclusively a night shift then you shall expand your filter as to exclude those.

You can create a Combination View with a Primary View equal to Resource Usage and a Details Pane equal Gantt Chart, there you can apply the filter on the upper pane and select the activities on the lower pane.
