Assigning Resources with the Task Form

     

Another method commonly used to assign resources and edit resource information is to use the Task Form. This is a form that comes up in the bottom half of the screen when you split the windows in the Gantt Chart view. This view shows you not only assignment information about the task that is selected in the upper window, but also task information such as a list of predecessors, task type, and other task-level information. You can also view several other forms in this way that show more detailed information about the Work, Cost, and Schedule of resources assigned to the selected task.

Using the Resources and Predecessors Form
