Resource Names refresh

[Pete Rawlings]

I am using Microsoft Project 2002 . I entered all my resource names in my project and assigned them to tasks. I now have gone through and altered the Max Units for each resource . Now looking at the Resource names from the Gantt view; if I re-select the resource it shows the Percentage Max Units that can be used , whilst the old names that have not been re-selected do not . e.g Fred Blogs(50%) . Is there a way to get the resource list to referesh its max units values and show the amounts without me going through every single assignment and reselecting each resource .

Tried F9 , Level Resources .

Hi Pete,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

I think you're mixing up "max units" with the number of units assigned. The
max units is a measure of the availability of the resource(s): 100% meaning
one full time resource, 200% is 2 resources, 50% means a half time resource.
When you assign a resource it will be assigned in the proportion you require
and this is what shows next to the resource name in the Gantt chart.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on
