    • If the global setting Show Job Panel is marked and the user does not change anything in their User Settings.

    • If the global setting Show Job Panel is not marked and the user marks Show Job Panel in their User Settings.

  • The Job Panel is not displayed in Schedule if the global setting Show Job Panel is marked and the user unmarks Show Job Panel in their User Settings.

• Display Resource Overallocation (Timeline view)
