I don't think the Graph is understandable for boss, report will be better to present him.
To show how many labour are actual (in numbers) and how many we neeed in tabular chart would be better what do you suggest
for the above i would appreciate if you tell me the report's ID in reports section. |

disagree a graph is always easlier to read and understand that just plan numbers.
Graphical is always better. |

Kindly Tell me how to add/use RESOURCE section under an activity details.
for example:
Cable pulling is one activity ..... required 6 days duration and 1340 Meter wire. then how to add in resource column.

Thank you very much for the detailed answers, now i have two questions more:
1. In my resource usage profile preview i don't see them in a hirarichal format (Indent / Outdent) so how can i make/convert in a hirarichal format because i have to check overall chart and in usage spread sheet i want to see the total number of manpowers. Current due to unavailability of indent/outdent i am unable to see that.
2. Can i only see the specific WBS (even that is sub-wbs) i have no concern with activities in progress/done etc.. i just want to see only two sub-wbs with their all acitivities ........under many WBS. How can i do that? |

1. You cant see them in a hirarichal format unless you have set them up that way in the resource mode
2. Group my wbs the select select view then select collapse to then select the level that you want to collapse to.

I went in sort and tried by WBS but it's not giving me the desired result.
Let me explain you again.
My first WBS is ABC then under this WBS there are Five WBS and each have different activities.
I want to only see the PIPING WBS that is located in (Five WBS). My boss only want to see PIPING WBS in the schedule not any other how is it possible?
In RESOURCE spreadsheet, how can i copy the numeric values into the excel file to make some changes? |

Activity Usage Spreadsheet: You can only copy the statistics value from this section.
Is there any other way to copy these numeric values? |

highlight the resource for the piping work
you can export the values to excel what values do you want to import ? |

I have gone through with the attachment but i knew this a little bit because i checked your site in details so i found good data too as this whole website has a very good material.
But I am still confused to sort out by WBS showing activities (total under sub-wbs) i am unable to do so.
second question is that i created a pool in a hirarichal way but when i click on resource usage sheet or graph i don't find my resources in that format, it displays all in a series way like all are OUTDENT. so how can i do that and tell me also how can create a resource pool in a project. i mean is there any option? e.g. we have different options in other area from global to project so does it have any? |

1st answer: filter where wbs is whatever you want hopefully your wbs structure is setup correctly
2nd answer: if you are looking at the resources profile make sure that on the left had side that you select the upside triangle and the filter by current project resources is selected. However you will only be able to see the the current project resoures if you have actually assigned them to an activity.
What I mean is that if you creat a resouces and no not actually assign to at least one activity then it will not show up when you select the upside triangle and then select filter by current projects resources.

No, i am unable to do so anyway i know there is no way because after using that filter that WBS will be visible. i wanted to hide that WBS and their activities same as we can do in Excel (If applying filter).
Now I have another question:
Is there any way to define a contraint on WBS or sub-wbs? because i am using constraint but when i schedule the dates are changing and i don't want to change because engineers have given me their dates so how can i stop this? please help. |
