Resources tab

Configure how resources are assigned and managed in your Gantt charts. The Resources tab lets you define which Jira field represents project resources, configure team assignments, and enable the Resource Panel for workload and capacity planning.

What you can configure

In the Resources tab, you can:

  • Select the Jira field used for resource assignments.

  • Configure team-based resource assignments.

  • Show or hide the Resource Panel.

  • Prepare your chart for workload balancing and capacity planning.

Configure resource assignments

By default, Gantt Suite uses Jira's Assignee field to identify project resources.

Alternatively, you can select any custom field of type User Picker (single user) if your organization uses a different field to assign work.

Show or hide the Resource Panel

The Resource Panel provides an overview of resource allocation and workload across your project.

To hide the Resource Panel from the Gantt chart, clear the Resource panel checkbox.

Configure team assignments

You can assign work to teams instead of individual users.

To enable team assignments:

  1. Select a Jira custom field of type Short text (plain text only) as the resource assignment field.

  2. Click Teams.

  3. Create your teams and associate them with the current Gantt chart.

Once configured, work items can be assigned to teams and included in resource planning.
