I'm trying to set up my Gantt to automatically color by Type of Resource. So
basically if I had human resources and equipment, how do I set up MSP to
automatically change the Gantt bar color depending on which resource I select?

So I select a human, its turns BLUE, if I select equipment its GREEN.

I this article posted by Rod Gill which was helpful but I can't figure out
how to do Type

Looks like one way might be to use the Resource Group column but I'm limited
to their names and only 3 drop downs.
