Claire asks: When looking at a resource usage sheet displaying assigned work, how does one distinguish between unallocated time and exception time? If, for example, the week of 10/19 for a particular engineer is blank because that engineer is on vacation (as opposed to unassigned to any projects during that week,), can this exception be displayed in the Resource Usage sheet? I know that Project will schedule around this exception, but it would be handy to have the exception visible for the Engineering Manager to see.
