How do I...
... specify the resources and/or cost centres that are included in the selected histogram?
Select the resources and/or cost centres that you want to graph in the histogram in the Resources field. Select as many resources as you want.
If you want to graph task work or the days on which activities are scheduled during a project, rather than resources or cost centres, select Task in the Resources field.
... specify the histogram report to use in the selected histogram?
Select the histogram report that you want to use in the Report field, which lists all the existing histogram reports in the project.
