MORE INFORMATION

In the Resource Usage view, you can select time on the timescale portion that is assigned to a particular resource. However, if you then use the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons on the Standard toolbar to view your project with a larger or smaller timescale, the selection on the timescale portion changes to include more or less assigned work than was included in your original selection.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior in Project 2010

1.       In a new project, set New Tasks to Auto Scheduled and enter a task, T1. Select T1.

2.       From the Resource tab, choose the Assign Resources button. In the Name column, type Res1 and press ENTER . Select Res1 and choose the Assign button.

3.       From the View tab, choose Resource Usage . On the timescale portion, select 8h time assignment for T1.

4.       From the View tab, select the Zoom drop-down list and choose the Zoom In button.

The selection on the timescale portion is from 12 AM to 6 AM. The time that T1 is assigned, from 6 AM to 12 PM and from 12 PM to 6 PM, is no longer selected.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
