Missing overbooking warning in project worksheet (2014)

Project Worksheet (PW) and Resource Management Worksheet (RMW) referenced in this article are based on Silverlight technology and are no longer available as of Changepoint 2020

 

SYMPTOMS

A resource is being overbooked in the project worksheet. The resource workgroup is set to 'warn when overbooked', yet when the project is saved, there is no warning. Some users have a yellow warning indicator at the beginning of the line, but for others this is missing.


 

REASON

This is related to the project worksheet validation settings. It can be set to  'validate on change' (which validates everything all the time) and 'validate on request' (which is faster). When set to validate on request and when the project is saved, Changepoint would only flag error situations, but not warnings.

 

RESOLUTION

When set to validate on request, to see overbooking warnings, click on the 'validate' button in the project worksheet toolbar before saving.
