No capacity for team resources in views?

[Peter M.]

Hello guys,
So, finally we got that analysis services server thing running so I was
playing around with it a bit, and I'm sure I'll soon have a lot more
questions that this one, but it's something my boss asked for it sprang to my
eyes right away so here goes (btw we use Project Server 2007):

I can display bars for work, actual work and everything, now if I choose
capacity as a data field, it does NOT show bars for our team resources (which
may have like 2000% max units). So I do get capacity bars for resources, but
not for our team resources (those who have team assignment pool checked). Is
there way around this?

Second little question: I just noticed this today. I'd like to have default
assignment owners for team resources. Now as you might know, you cannot set a
default assignment owner for generic resources. Now I've simply unchecked the
generic box. What's the difference? What do we even need this option for? It
only seems to restrict further settings.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you are correct that Data Analysis views do not show any Capacity
information for Team resources. I know of no way to work around this
limitation.

Regarding setting a Default Assignment Owner for a Team resource, I don't
think there is any hard requirement that you have to make Team resources
Generic resources. Hope this helps.
