Improve Resource Scheduling

Identify available time slots and move activities to remainder capacities to make a better use of resources.

VARCHART XGantt allows activities of a group to overlap. If the group represents a resource that can only be used exclusively, activity 2 needs to be shifted to the right. Typical example: the assignment of tasks to a machine.

How this can be done you can find in the Visual Basic Sample "find free time blocks" of the programming sample collection.

If you use the VARCHART XGantt Resource Scheduling module, you can do without this feature since scheduling is done automatically.
