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.

THE RESOURCE MOVEMENT ARROWS ARE GRAYED OUT - SO UNABLE TO MOVE THE RESOURCES - LEFT, RIGHT, UP OR DOWN.

EVEN IF I ADD NEW RESOURCES THE ARROWS STILL REMAIN GRAYED OUT.

STRANGELY IN BOTH THE LAPTOPS. WHY IS IT SO?

Dear Mr. Alexandre Faulx-B & Mr. Santosh Bhat,

It worked - "The Resource Movement Blue Arrows" have appeared - Image Attached.

I had actually accidentially turned on the Resource Group & Sort by Primary Role. Therefore the Tri-State Toggle was alternating only between the first 2 states and not showing the third state i.e. 3 Lines -  Indent arrows - Hierarchical Structure.

I did not know that this Column Header is "A Tri-State Toggle".

Thanks A Lot To Both Of You,

With The Very Best Regards.

Vikas,

 

The Column header for Resource ID is a Tri-State toggle. It can be clicked three times, once for sorting Ascending Alphanumerically, Again for Descending Alphanumerically, and thirdly for Hierarchically based on the Resource Structure.

Make sure you click this three times to go through each option and you should see the indent arrows appear when it is displaying the hierarchical structure.

Dear Alexandre Faulx-B,

I have pasted 2 Screen Shots of my my Resource ID Column Header.

If I click on the small triangle as shown in the upper image it gives the options as shown in the image &

if I click the small triangle as shown in the below image then P6 just Sorts the Resource ID's columns.

But there is no option where the small triangle changes to 3 lines.

Thanks & Regards.

go to Secuirty profiles make sure all of the Has Previleges boxes are checked for whatever profile Name is checked above.

Dear Mr. Santosh Bhat,

The filter is "ALREADY SET TO DISPLAY ALL RESOURCES".

I watched 2 YouTube Videos where the Presentor is also having these arrows grayed out in the video - So I think the Standalone Version seems to have these arrows grayed out - Maybe - I am not sure.

Thanks & Regards.

Zoltan, SQLite databases don't have any user or security profiles - so those options wont be on the menu.

 

Its likely becuase the resource view is filtered. Select to display ALL RESOURCES and the arrows will appear.
