You are a project manager in your organization. You have several activities that need to be completed within the next thirty days for your project to reach its deadline on time. How can you view the available resources within the next 30 days to plan on task assignment based on resource availability?
A.
View the available resources through Project Web Access in the Resource Center.
B.
Create a filter in the Project Web Access Resource Center based on resource availability.
C.
Create a filter in the Project Web Access for available resources, groups, and availability.
D.

Explanation:
In Project Server 2010, the data of an OLAP database can be filtered on the basis of date range combinations. This provides a way to filter the OLAP data efficiently to the information significant to a specific user group. In this case, the OLAP database will contain only the data related to the project and resource that is assigned to their department. In order to complete this task, you will need to create a filter within Project Web Access in the Resource Center. The filter will be designed to show only resource availability within the next 30 days. You can add other filters, such as type of resources for the type of work to complete, if you like. Answer option A is incorrect. If you will not create a filter, then all the resources will be displayed. Answer option D is incorrect. You will not create a view, but a filter to find the results you need. Answer option C is incorrect. The filter is actually created within the Resource Center, not directly on the main page of Project Web Access. What is a Project view? A Project view is used to display task, assignment, or resource information specific to a single project. Detailed information about the project tasks, including enterprise task custom fields is displayed. A user can view, group, filter, and sort information in a Project view based on the information defined in the enterprise task custom fields.
