[Music] thank you hey everyone it's Justin thank you for watching and welcome to my house that's Justin's house in this video I want to talk to you about project workspace it got updated in May 2023 too along with a couple of 100 other apps by servicenow and they were really simple but I think really important updates let's take a look here look at the version history that Justin's captured so far we're up to 4.0.0 and in this new version resource assignments on the project workspace and two new views so I'll show you what it used to look like with a grid and a Gantt chart but now you can toggle between just the grid just the Gantt or have both on the screen so that's what's new in this release let's go ahead and minimize that and this is Project workspace so I think I've showed this several times on the channel but you can see this dual view here what's new in the May 2023 updates are this these options right here to change your view so if I click on grid I'm just going to get the project task grid um if I click on get I'm just going to get the project game chart if I click on all I'm going to see everything okay so that's number one number two what was actually the first feature on the screen that I just showed you was the ability to do resource plans directly from Project workspace so take a look up next to those buttons I was just clicking on there is a toggle to turn on resource planning or not so if I click on that it will go ahead and open the resource assignment pane just below no tasks are selected and but guess what I actually haven't done this yet so you're gonna be the first with me let's go ahead and get a resource assigned for this project management app you can see just above my head let's go this way I've got two things I can do I can have an allocation heat map and add a resource I'm just going to start with add a resource and let's go ahead and grab Aileen is the one that's all over project management and agile and I don't know if we need her for a full FTE so let's just put her on for project management we're going to do maybe 10 hours uh actually that's July 20th through August 1st that's what about 10 days 11 days so let's say it was two hours a day would be about 20. we'll just go with 20 hours try to make this a little bit realistic and have off of that and it looks like the restore status is now pending um looks like it's Auto saving in the background yep it looks like save is happening so I didn't have to do anything there now let's take a look at what that allocation heat map looks like we'll click there okay that's kind of what I expected from the resource planning workbench now I can see aileen's resource allocation it's got six hours for the week of 17th of July 10 hours for the week of 24th of July which is my birthday week and took four hours for the week of July 31st looks like we're looking at a week here we could toggle this to a month so it changes that view there can I move this like I can above above me no so I can't move this like I can this would appear but I can refresh and looks like I can make it bigger make it fill the whole screen probably should have done that sooner so you could see everything um that's the settings for the Gantt chart above let's see if there's any new settings here critical path fingerprint auto save yeah so really it's just that bottom panel and the ability to add resources directly from here let's see I can go ahead and change this to approved and I guess that'll kick off the whole resource um allocation process or actually I've already selected a resource so that's interesting and I can delete the row so that's it that is what's new in Project workspace in the May 2023 update from the servicenow I hope you found this video helpful if you did please like Please Subscribe or share with somebody who you think is interested in changing their views from gantts to grids or planning resources within the new project workspace in servicenow and until next time don't forget to always be learning thank you [Music]
