The Gantt Resource Usage Panel is the middle panel in the Manufacturing Gantt Explorer and is where resources such as work centers, tooling, and skills can be viewed in a Gantt chart. The Gantt Resource Usage Panel can be used to view and manage resource allocations for operations and steps in process plans.

The attributes that appear in the navigation pane are described in the following table.

The right pane displays allocation information for the object selected in the navigation pane, within a Gantt Activity Chart. The activity chart displays a range of dates during which the resources are expected to be used. Task bars are used to illustrate the beginning and end dates for each resource.

You can perform tasks on elements selected in the activity chart by selecting a task bar. Using drag and drop, you can move operations to work centers, and process resources to other process resources (for example, skill to skill).
