Identify Available Capacity

To make schedules more efficient, you can identify resources with available capacity on their schedules and then fill the idle time with activities.

  1. In the Resource Tree, expand the bucket or buckets to see all of your resources.
  2. Look for icons that are both white and blue.
    Icons that are completely blue indicate full loads. Icons that have some white space indicate less than full loads.
