Documenting Resources

You might recall from Chapter 2, “Creating a Task List,” that you can record any additional information about a task, resource, or assignment in a note. For example, if a resource has flexible skills that can help the project, it is a good idea to record this in a note. In that way, the note resides in the project plan and can be easily viewed or printed.

In this exercise, you enter resource notes to document that a resource can assume multiple roles in the TV commercial project.

1. In the Resource Name column, click Garrett R.Vargas.

2. On the Project menu, click Resource Notes.

Tip 

You can also click the Resource Notes button on the Standard toolbar.

3. In the Notes box, type Garrett is trained on camera and lights and then click OK.

A note icon appears in the Indicators column.

4. Point to the note icon.

The note appears in a ScreenTip. For notes that are too long to appear in a ScreenTip, you can double-click the note icon to display the full text of the note.
