Are there plans to allow for Assignments view across all built projects? My project teams are all cross-functional, working on multiple projects at once. I need to see across multiple projects for this feature to be of use within my organization.

John - what level of detail are you looking for x-project..- John_HooverMay 10, 2023Iron Contributor
I love the Assignments view. It would be great to have that level of detail and control, except on the left hand side, there is an additional level of detail showing the projects a resource is assigned to, in addition to the tasks for each of those projects they have been assigned to. I currently have 40+ projects operating in my branch (we do consultant work). I am sharing a team of approximately 20 employees across those 40+ projects and need a way to easily visualize their workload across all projects.
- Resource
- Project 1
- Task assigned with hours and time frame details, including ability to update/move hours
- Task assigned with hours and time frame details, including ability to update/move hours
- Project 2
- Task assigned with hours and time frame details, including ability to update/move hours
- Task assigned with hours and time frame details, including ability to update/move hours
- Project 3 (and so on for all projects the resource is assigned to)

- sidhant_rahiMay 10, 2023Copper ContributorHi John, We want to listen to all your needs and especially understand the missing features, so that we can prioritize them effectively. Can you help us by filling this survey. https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR1OvUA7nnfFIvhslqRMb4yNUQ0hLTENPTDgySTBSTTQ4NUhFS1dRV01WRC4u
- John_HooverMay 10, 2023Iron ContributorResponded. You'll probably be able to pick mine out based on my priorities so I can push for wide organizational adoption of P4W. 🙂
- tvaughn12May 10, 2023Iron ContributorWe have 100+ projects with approximately 40-60 tasks each. We use PowerBI to accomplish an broad view of everything, but agree that a built in feature into Project would be ideal for this.
- John_HooverMay 10, 2023Iron ContributorTy, I did something similar with Power BI to gain a cross-project view. However, I (my organization) really needs the ability to see the Assignments view with all of its great features, across multiple projects at once.
