Resource Overview

The Resource Overview tab available on the Setup Job Resource Allocation window and the Job Management screen provides a graphical representation of all resource allocations in the system.

The tab is initially blank. To display resource allocations, select a time range from the Search on Resources Working control at the top of the tab and click Search.

Note: The chart does not update automatically as job details are changed. To update the chart, you must click Search again. If the Show Resource Overview screen needs refresh warning User profile setting is enabled, a warning message alerts you when a job has changed.

The main section of the Resource Overview tab contains two areas:

• An expanding list of all resource allocations matching the filtering criteria is displayed on the left. You can select a Show option to list only over-allocated resources, available (i.e. not over-allocated) resources or all resources. Click the plus or minus boxes next to a resource to expand or collapse the allocations underneath it. Double-click on a job's name to view the Setup Job Resource Allocation window for that job.

• A chart showing the resource allocations on a calendar display. Resource allocations are represented as coloured bars. Over-allocated resources are highlighted in red. Double-click on a bar to view the Setup Job Resource Allocation window for the job that relates to the bar.

You can drag the divider between these two areas to give more or less room for each.
