Resource Grid

Available in: Pro · Enterprise
Last updated: 05-Mar-2026

Overview

The Resource Grid occupies the top-left quadrant of the Resources tab. It provides a tabular view of every resource in your schedule — labour, equipment, and materials — with 17 columns across 12 categories. Use the grid to browse resource properties, sort by any field, and select resources to update the histogram and time-phased panels.

Grid Features

Virtualised Scrolling

The grid uses virtualised rendering — only visible rows are in the DOM. This means schedules with thousands of resources scroll smoothly without lag.

Column Operations

Operation	How
Reorder	Drag a column header left or right to move it
Resize	Drag the right edge of a column header to adjust width
Toggle visibility	Right-click any column header to open the column menu
Sort	Click a column header to cycle through ascending → descending → none
Pin	Resource ID and Resource Name are always pinned to the left

Row Selection

Click any row to select it. The selection synchronises across all four quadrants:

• The Resource Hierarchy panel highlights the selected resource in the tree.
• The Time-Phased Spreadsheet filters to show only the selected resource's assignments.
• The Histogram highlights the selected resource's loading bars.

Hold Ctrl and click to select multiple resources. Hold Shift and click to select a contiguous range.

Row Context Menu

Right-click a resource row to see:

Action	Description
View Assignments	Jump to the time-phased spreadsheet filtered to this resource
Copy Resource ID	Copy the resource ID to your clipboard
Edit Resource	Open the resource in the Editor (Editor Mode only)
Filter Grid	Filter the Activities grid to activities assigned to this resource

Resource Types

Type	Icon	Description

Searching

Use the search bar above the grid to filter resources by name or ID. The search is case-insensitive and matches partial strings. Type "crane" to find all crane-related resources.

Tips

• Right-click a column header and select Auto-fit to size the column to its widest content.
• Click and drag multiple column headers while holding Ctrl to reorder several columns at once.
• Double-click the right edge of a column header to auto-fit that column.
• Use the Active column to quickly identify resources that are no longer in use.
