Delete a Resource Review Layout

The Resource Review page provides a centralized view of Resource allocation (effort) and availability across work items, as well as any unstaffed demand that currently exists.

Resource Review Layouts determine how Resource Review data is arranged and organized. They are created by customizing the page's filters and display options and saving those changes. This way, users can view Resource Review data through the same filters and display options later on.

Layouts that are no longer required can be deleted from PowerSteering. Deleted layouts cannot be recovered; users will have to recreate and save the layout again in order to bring it back.

Note: PowerSteering users can delete any Resource Review Layouts that have been shared publicly. Only the "New Layout" Resource Review Layout from the new interface and the "Default" Resource Review Layout from the legacy page cannot be deleted.

This page explains how to delete a Resource Review Layout using both Resource Review interfaces:

Note: Resource Review Layouts are not compatible with both interfaces. Layouts saved on the legacy page cannot be applied to the new interface and vice versa.

 

Delete a Resource Review Layout using the new interface

The 2025R1.0 version of PowerSteering introduced the first phase of a new Resource Review user interface. Resource Review Layouts that were originally saved using the new user interface can only be deleted from that same page. This is because layouts from one page are not compatible with the other.

To delete a Resource Review Layout from the legacy interface:

Before You Start: All PowerSteering users can access the Resource Review page. However, users can only view the data through Resource Review Layouts they have saved themselves or that have been shared with all users. Additionally, users can only view work items and users that they have permission to view. For instance, users without the "View" Project Task permission on a work item will not be able to view the work item on the Resource Review page:

Lack of permissions will not stop a user from deleting any Resource Review Layouts that they have created themselves or that have been shared with them.

  1. Select Review → Resource Review - New UI from the Navigation Menu.

  2. Select the Resource Review Layout you would like to delete from the "Layout" drop-down menu.

    Note: The layouts above the gray line are layouts that have been shared with everyone. The layouts below the line are your own private layouts.
    Deleting a layout that has been shared with everyone will delete it for all users.

    Note: The "New Layout" Resource Review Layout cannot be deleted.

  3. Select the Delete Current Layout icon .

  4. Select the Yes button.

After selecting Yes, the Resource Review Layout will be removed from PowerSteering. Users will need to recreate the layout and save it if they would like to view it again.
