Chart configuration
Chart configuration defines the items to include on a chart, work time specifics for the chart, as well as security and sharing.
Chart settings tab
Chart settings mostly define what data to include into a chart.
To be more precise, the Chart settings tab provides the ability to define the General information such as chart name, description and start/end dates, the Scheduling options such as type of Scheduling, project/project boards, JQL filter and scheduling mode, and the Task options such as start/end field, deadline field, duration calculation and mode.

Resources tab
Here, you can define the working and non-working days and hours for your team in general as per individual resource by adding and configuring the individual resource calendars.
In addition, as a chart manager, you’ll be able to configure the field for a resource assignment.
By default, standard Jira field Assignee is used for a resource assignment. Although, any custom field with the type of User picker (single user) can be used for a resource assignment.
