Timesheets


Resources can be grouped by dozens of categories in up to three layers, making it easy to see how certain resource groups compare to others.

Resources can also be sorted by the same categories used for grouping. Here, the resources are first grouped by Type (i.e., Material or Work), and then sorted by their earliest available date, for which more information is available in the Resource Assignments view (next slide).
