In order to appear when using the project-level filter, a resource or role must be assigned to an activity. The project manager most typically plans the project schedule using trade skills and not individual resources. Schedule work is therefore initially assigned to roles. A schedule in which all relevant activities have roles or resources assigned is called a resource loaded schedule.

Assigning resources to activities by role facilitates resource staffing for activities because you can use roles with specific skill sets as resource assignments until specific resources can be assigned.
