Manage the resource capability and work load more efficiently with the visual resources overview. It integrates both project work packages from InLoox PM and appointments from the Microsoft Exchange free/busy service. This way, you always have an instant and complete overview of all project resources – be it team members, rooms, or tools. 

  1. Click Resources in the lower left corner of the home page.
    The resource overview loads all resources system-wide.

  2. Please perform one or more of the following actions:
    • Define time frames  On the Start tab, in the Date Range group, choose Start and End date.

      All resources that are not occupied during the defined period are hidden.

    • Zoom to fit  Click Zoom to fit in the View group to adjust the date interval of the view.
    • Enlarge or reduce the resources  On the Start tab, in the View group, click Zoom In or Zoom Out to change the zoom level of the view. The available values are: 
      • Years
      • Quarters
      • Months
      • Weeks
      • Days
      • Hours
    • Refresh  Use the Refresh button to update all changes and reload the view. This button can be found on the Start tab in the View group.
    • Show exchange calendar  In the Microsoft Exchange group, click Enable Exchange calendar. This option displays or hides the information of the Free/Busy feature of Microsoft Exchange Server.

      • Add the appointments from the Outlook clendar via InLoox PM options. Open the options and click Exchange Server in the navigation pane. Then type a domain with contact in the Exchange Server area.
