Show or Hide Resource Overallocation in the Resource Usage Profile

Show or hide resource overallocation in the Resource Usage Profile is Data tab; Show Limit and Show Overallocation

P6 Resources tab. Assignment columns and Add Resource / Add Role.
This is the Resources tab. Show overallocation on the Resource Usage Profile is a histogram option, not this tab.

What a planner means

Show or hide resource overallocation in the Resource Usage Profile is Oracle Show or hide resource overallocation in the Resource Usage Profile. View, Show on Bottom, Resource Usage Profile (or Layout Options bar). Display Options bar → Resource Usage Profile Options (or right-click). Data tab. Additional Data Options: mark Show Limit and Show Overallocation to display; clear Show Overallocation to remove. It is a how-to. It is not stored as its own table. It does not create, edit, or delete a relationship. It is not the Resource Usage Profile object note, not Show or hide resource limits, not Define the Resource Usage Profile - Regular Histogram, not TASKPRED, not EPPM copied onto Professional, and not Microsoft Resource Graph overallocation.

Oracle does print a how-to titled Show or hide resource overallocation in the Resource Usage Profile. Oracle does not print a menu item named Show or hide resource overallocation. The path that how-to prints is Resource Usage Profile Options, Data tab. Do not invent View > Show or hide resource overallocation.

Oracle Show or hide resource overallocation in the Resource Usage Profile (Professional):

  • "Click the Data tab."
  • "To display resource overallocation information, in the Additional Data Options section, mark the Show Limit and Show Overallocation checkboxes."
  • "To remove resource overallocation information, in the Additional Data Options section, clear the Show Overallocation checkbox."
  • Note: "The Show Limit and Show Overallocation checkboxes display only when you display Units."
  • "In the Activities window, choose View, Show on Bottom, Resource Usage Profile."
  • "You can also click the Layout Options bar, then choose Show on Bottom, Resource Usage Profile."
  • "Click the Display Options bar in the profile and choose Resource Usage Profile Options."
  • "You can also right-click in the profile and choose Resource Usage Profile Options."

That how-to fetched prints no OK, no Apply, no Save, and no Yes. Do not invent those.

The Resource Usage Profile is a different object note. Leave Resource Usage Profile as the object.

Show or hide resource limits is a different how-to. See Show or Hide Resource Limits in the Resource Usage Profile.

Define the Resource Usage Profile - Regular Histogram is a different how-to. It also names Show Overallocation. Do not collapse this onto Regular. See Define the Resource Usage Profile - Regular Histogram.

Professional vs EPPM

Professional — Resource Usage Profile Options, Data tab, Additional Data Options: Show Limit and Show Overallocation. Units only. No OK / Apply on this how-to page.

EPPM web — the Professional how-to page is the source for this note. Do not invent an EPPM Show Overallocation dialog. Do not copy Professional Additional Data Options onto EPPM.

Primavera Cloud is a different product. Do not copy it here.

XER

The how-to is not an XER table. Oracle’s project XER map TOC has no RSRUSAGE / SHOWOVERALLOC table. Do not invent a view %T. Toggling Show Overallocation does not write TASK. Layouts travel as .plf. A Viewer cannot reconstruct that the planner used this how-to.

Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project can show overallocation on a Resource Graph. Do not map that as P6 Show or hide resource overallocation. Do not claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.

Don't

  • Invent View > Show or hide resource overallocation, OK, Apply, Save, or Yes.
  • Collapse this onto Show or hide resource limits, Regular Histogram define, availability, overtime, or the Resource Usage Profile object.
  • Copy Professional Additional Data Options onto EPPM.
  • Invent a SHOWOVERALLOC XER table, or reconstruct the how-to from TASKRSRC.
  • Map MSP Resource Graph overallocation as this how-to.
  • Claim MPXJ writes a real MPP.
