  1. Hi, what is the right method when your resource changed its unit rate along the course of the project providing that it only affect the current date and so on, because what I have observed it will give a retroactive effect. Thanks

    1. Hi,
      In Resource window -> Select resource you need to adjust rate -> in Units & Prices tab -> you can add a new rate, and enter the Effective date. So that the new price is only used from “Effective date”.

  2. Hi, I get this. But I am trying to print a view which has the Gantt chart at the top and a stacked histogram at the bottom. Just a small project so it all fits on the 1 page.

    Unfortunately I can’t get it so that it shows the legend for both the Gantt and the Histogram. In fact it ONLY shows the legend for the Gantt (which is pretty self explanatory anyway). And I have no idea which bar is which on the Histogram, which makes it next to useless.

    How do i get it so that I can show both the Gantt and the Histogram (I can do that bit) AND the legend for both or just the legend for the Histogram?

    Thanks,
