Resource View
The Resource View of the Project Task Allocation window shows the current commitments of each allocated resource in the project as a list of allocation records and a Gantt chart of the progress of the allocations.
The display initially shows the resources and their overall commitment; click on the 'plus-box' to the left of the name of the resource to expand the entry to show the elements and the allocation period for each element.
The display shows both complete allocations and those that are still in progress; an internal filter hides completed allocations two weeks after the end date, and incomplete allocations one month after the end date.
