Configure the PM Central Resource Assignments Gantt chart

The Resource Assignments Gantt Chart displays information from lists that are populated by a scheduled timer job, the Bamboo Gantt Chart Timer Job, which by default, runs daily.

When the Bamboo Gantt Chart Timer Job runs for the first time, it will create the Gantt Chart Information list and extract data from the tasks list of all the projects, save the items, and display them in the report. The next timer job will extract and copy the data from the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information list to the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information Backup list, add new items to the list and then delete the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information list. The web part will display information from the updated list.

When working with the Resource Assignments Gantt report keep in mind:

  • Only users with Full Control or Design permissions can access the Resource Center by way of the PM Central Control Panel.

  • Assignments are only displayed when a resource has been associated with a task, using with the Assigned To or Resource fields in the task.

  • By default, 20 items will be displayed per page.

To change the number of items in a page view:

Step Action
1. From the PM Control Panel, click the Resource Management link
2. Go to the Resource Assignments report, and edit the Resource Assignments web part
3. Under the header Bamboo Gantt Chart Configuration, change the page size to the desired setting.

Icon-WarningImportant: It is not recommended that you change any other attribute under the Bamboo Gantt Chart Configuration section as this could effect the Web Part’s ability to display aggregated data from multiple project sites.

4. Click Apply and then OK
