Expanding Task Usage View

Hi,

Just wondering if there is a simple way to expand each task on the Task Usage View so that it shows individual resources against the task rather than the total for all resources?

In the example below, I have manually expanded task 213 to show the two resources and their hours, but I can't seem to find a way to do this quickly. I've tried using "Outline-Show All Subtasks" but I suspect that this only works with tasks and not resources.

Total Float not calculating correctly

P
praneet k 👤 Member for 13 years 8 months

Hello-  I have a problem with the total float not showing correctly. I have activity47 which is completing on 13MAY2022 which will be a predecessor to activity 6  ( meaning first activity 47 will complete and then activity 6 will follow). My acitivity 6 can ONLY start on 18MAY2022. I want the activity 6 so start on 18MAY 2022, so that the total float between activity 47 & 6 will be 3 days.

Ribbon size

Hello PPlanners,

I know my question will look strange to most of you;

is there a way in MSP 2016 to fix or freeze the height of the ribbon? 

What I mean is: in MSP the ribbon normally is of the same height as in MX Excel or Word, somewhere under 2 inches on my screen; and, all of a sudden, the height increases dramatically, to more than 2 inches

if I collapse the ribbon, and display the ribbon by selecting one tab or the other, the ribbon displays at its normal height.

I cannot say where this behaviour comes from; maybe something in the registry?

Assigning constant resource quantity through whole duration of the activity

Hi guys!

I tried to look it up on forum, but it didn't work out for me.

My question is:"How to assign some particular resource to the activity without MSP distributing its quantity by number of days, but showing the assigned quantity every day of activity duration?"
