Resource View Widget Parameters

Parameter VisibilityThe Resource Load Calculation, Resource Field, Resource Label, Show Unassigned, Group Resources By Teams, Items per resource - OK limit, and View Height parameters only appear in the widget parameter editor after you set Show Resource View to Yes. This progressive disclosure avoids clutter when the resource view is not in use.Group Resources By Teams additionally disappears while a single team is filtered, and when the Resource Field is the team custom field — where the resource already is the team, there is nothing to group.

​
Load Modes

The Resource Load Calculation parameter determines how workload is computed for each resource:
What Counts Toward # of ItemsA work item counts toward # of Items when it carries any allocation at all — a load, assignment hours, or an assignment percentage — not only when it carries a time estimate. Plans whose work is allocated rather than estimated therefore no longer read as zero under Leaf Items Count and Assignment Allocation.

Resource Marker Colors

The resource view displays color-coded markers for each time cell: You can customize these colors using the resourceMarkersColorConfig property in Color and Styling Properties. In the Estimate + Spent and Remaining Estimate modes, the markers show allocated hours by default. To show available hours in green markers and overallocated hours in red markers instead, set the com.nextedy.gantt.resourceBubbleMode configuration property to available_overallocation — see Show Available or Overallocated Hours in the Bubbles.

​
Leaf Task Filtering

The onlyLeafTasks configuration property affects resource view calculations:
  • When onlyLeafTasks is true, only leaf tasks (tasks with no children) are counted in resource allocation.
  • Parent or summary tasks (presentation mode Derived Schedule) are excluded from workload calculations.
  • Work items that have a parent presentation mode but no visible children due to filtering are treated as leaf items and included in calculations.
Verify in applicationThe exact behavior of filtered workpackages without visible children in resource calculations may vary by version. Verify the resource count behavior in your specific Gantt version.

​
Unassigned Resource Row

Tasks with no value in the configured Resource Field are grouped under a synthetic “Unassigned” resource row. This row uses the internal constant UNASSIGNED_ID and appears at the bottom of the resource view when Show Unassigned is enabled.

​
Team-Based Resource View

When team assignments are enabled (via Team and Resource Properties), the resource view organizes its rows by team. In team mode:
  • With Group Resources By Teams on, each team is a collapsible header row carrying the team’s aggregated allocation, with its resource rows beneath it.
  • With it off, resources are a flat list and a person assigned in several teams appears once, with their combined load.
  • The lightbox shows the control belonging to the configured Resource Field — a user picker, a team picker, or a drill-down picker over a Resource Breakdown Structure.
  • Capacity is derived from team assignment records rather than individual working calendars.

​
Configuration Example

To enable a resource view showing estimate-and-spent allocation:
  1. Open Widget Properties for the Gantt widget.
  2. In the Resource View section, set Show Resource View to Yes.
  3. Set Resource Load Calculation to Estimate + Spent.
  4. Set Resource Field to the Polarion field holding the assignee (e.g., assignee).
  5. Optionally enable Show Unassigned to see unassigned tasks.
  6. Save the widget parameters.
Working Calendars for Accurate LoadFor accurate resource load calculations, enable Working Calendars so that non-working days, holidays, and per-user schedule exceptions are reflected in the capacity values.
