Best Way to Export & Review Resources in PDF & Excel

Hi

 

I was some of you guys could give me tips on the best way to export and review resources in Excel & PDF.  I have only ever reviewed the resources on my screen and never used the export features to do so.  After playing around with the export I find it really messy and far to many pages and I was wondering if I was doing something wrong.

 

My exports seem to export the activity in 10 lines if it has 10 resources or 12 lines if it has 12 resources assigned to it.

 

What I am looking to do is to export 1 activity

Using Two Schedules

I am working for a contractor I am considering a fundamental flaw in their approach to scheduling. I wanted to get other peoples opinion about this. They want to use two schedules. One is the approved baseline schedule and the second is an unapproved internal schedule. I consider this a fundamental flaw because the data in the two will never align. Their reasoning for using two schedules is they want to show in the baseline schedule all their contractual time used.
