How do you show initials rather than full name beside the bars on the GANTT chart
RE: Resources
Hi Debbie
Thank you for your question. To put the initials beside the bars on the Gantt chart try this: From the format menu choose Bar styles. The dialogue box that appears shows the objects that can be formatted with the Task type already selected as it's first in the list. At the bottom of the dialogue box switch from the bar tab to the Text tab. You will see that there are several slots around a bar that can hold data from the database. One is already used (Right) which contains the Resource name field. Click on Resource name and replace it with the Resource initials field. OK out of the dialogue box and take a look at the Chart. You should find the initials of any assigned resources appear beside the bars rather than the full names.
I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
