Use the Resources tab to define the resources that should be included on the Gantt chart, as well as the shading or colouring to use for records scheduled by each resource.
XPAC will display the legend title on the Gantt chart whenever a legend is displayed. By default, the legend title will be the same as the resource name, however you can change it. Position your cursor on the required resource in the legend title column and enter a new description.
All resources in the current project will be listed on this Resources tab. The resources cannot be deleted from the list, but they can be set for inclusion or exclusion in the Gantt chart.
On the bottom left of the Resources tab is a check box labelled Use Hatching to Identify Resources. If this box is not ticked, the third column on the Resources tab will be labelled Colour. If it is ticked, then the third column on the Resources tab will be labelled Hatch.
If you have chosen to use colour to identify which resource schedules each record in the Gantt chart, then you should assign a colour to each of the resources that are being included in the chart. To assign a colour to a resource, click in the Colour column for that resource and a colour palette will be displayed. Click a colour, then click OK to select it.

If you have chosen to use hatching to identify which resource schedules each record in the Gantt chart, then you should assign a pattern to each of the resources that are being included in the chart. To assign a pattern to a resource, click in the Hatch column for that resource and a range of pattern options will be displayed. Click on a Fill Pattern and a Fill Colour and then click on OK to select it.
If colour is being used to denote the activity and hatching is being used to denote the resource, then it may be best to leave the Fill Colour set to black.
The last column on the Resources tab is used to specify which resources should be included or excluded in the Gantt chart. To include a resource, tick the box in the Include column for that resource. To exclude a resource, untick the box in the Include column for that resource.
