Turn on Automatic Leveling if you want MacProject II to level resources every time it recalculates a schedule.
Turn on Create Leveling Log to direct MacProject II to save a record of the changes it makes when leveling. The log is named after the project and is saved in the same folder as the project.
Turn on Interactive Leveling to have MacProject II present you with a list of choices whenever it levels resources.
