Plan the project tasks at the current level you specify for Level 3 tasks (such as at the Weekly level) and make sure you assign resources to each task. When you need to see every task at a more granular level, such as at the Daily level, apply either the Resource Usage view (resources with their task assignments) or the Task Usage view (tasks with their resource assignments), and then zoom the Timescale to the Daily level. This will now show you and your team members their daily workload on a task by task basis. If needed, print the view you have selected and give it to your team members. Hope this helps.
