Resource groups and Gantt chart view - possible?

[OttoBufonto]

Hi,

I have a few Project07 plans where I have split the resources into
differnt domain groups (customer, vendor, etc)
In the gantt chart view I can filter by resource groups and see all
the tasks that assigned to that group unfolded, and the other tasks
are rolled up.

But I only want to see the tasks assigned to the group, and
none the other - and as a result see the rolled up work
total only showing the days associated with the selected group.

Right now it always shows the total work days off all resources,
irrespective of the filter.

I'd like to have one plan that can show the effort of all the customer
resources (and those only), the vendor resources (and those only) and
the combined overall work..

Can this be done?

TIA,
OttoB

Hello Otto (and Ulrich?)

Instead of filtering, trying grouping the project by Resource Group.
Choose Project > Group By, More Groups, New. Name then group as you
like and in the first Group By row, select Resource Group for the
Field Name. You can select to group in Ascending or Descending order.

Applying the group this will temporarily sort the tasks by resource
group and show a summary group row for each resource group (customer,
vendor, etc.) If you add the Work field to the view before you apply
the group, you can see total work for each resource group as well as
the information for each task the resources from the group are
assigned to.

Hi Julie,

Thanks that helps a lot. (not quite what I was hoping for, cause I
seem to loose the task hierarchy, all tasks are on same level.)
But extremly helpful to breakdown the individual work.
