Select a date from which to calculate overallocation and a number of months to calculate the overallocation for. Overallocation is calculated from the beginning of the week, even if the date you select is not the first day of the week.

item  three

To view the status of the Check Resource Overallocation service, click View Service Status... on the Administer menu to open the Service Status dialog box.

item  four

The results of the Check Resource Overallocation service are displayed in the Overallocated Resources view of the Assignments page in the Projects section. You can make updates directly in this view, including reassigning resources, changing assignment dates, updating units, or updating the remaining time/units.
