Add a missing resource to the default view.
What is seen on the Gantt chart, might not be what is wanted (e.g. rows and resources are not sequenced correctly). Orchestrate allows you to change the Gantt chart view and organise components in a way which makes the plan more meaningful.
The main tool used to alter the Gantt chart view is the View Manager. Use one of the following two to get access to the View Manager:
Click the camera button from the main menu toolbar.
Select View, View Manager.
You can store the Gantt chart views as stored views in Orchestrate, which allows a quick switch among them. Stored views are visible in the following two places:
Saved Views drop-down list, after clicking the camera button from the main menu toolbar.
