If the number of positions and resources of in a staffing profile exceeds the recommended typical number, we recommend that you switch to the Gantt view of the Staffing Profile page where all the data are displayed in one single page and load simultaneously as you scroll down the page. This helps you experience better system performance and avoid OutOfMemory error.
