Heatmap in Resource Management

System

This discussion was created from comments split from: Can I turn a table into a heat map?.

I have not created a heatmap in the resource management feature within Smartsheets. Is it more automated than the description above (i.e., Excel conditional formatting?)

If anyone has created a heatmap from the RM feature (currently being built out), are there things I need to be cautious of?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @MilesinAtl

Have you had a chance to test out the new feature yet? Here's the Announcement post with more information:

@Genevieve P. I have been working with it for a couple of days now. It is starting to look like a heat map. It does require some cleanup on our side. I am still trying to understand the filtering, as not all resources or projects show up; it is the way we set up projects and our laziness on our side because not every project is "filled out" as it should be. Overall, what I have seen will be very useful.

There are some things I would change or like to see added, and I will enter those into the system

Again, thank you for your help.
