SUMMARY
In planner view in Microsoft Schedule+, the busy times for resources are based on a different logical interpretation than the busy times for required or optional attendees. That is, the planner will display as busy (or not available) only if ALL resources are busy while meeting attendees will show as busy when ANY of the attendees are busy.

There are four methods for viewing the individual busy resources:
 * 1) Resources that are busy during the selected meeting interval will display a red X next to their name in the attendees list.
 * 2) Double click the selected meeting time to show individual attendees and resources that are busy during that time.
 * 3) Secondary click on the selected meeting time to show individual attendees and resources that are busy during that time.
 * 4) Choosing the Request Meeting button will bring up a dialog if multiple resources are available allowing the user to select one or more resources for the meeting.



MORE INFORMATION
When Microsoft Schedule+ generates the busy times for resources, it constructs a query using the "and" operator. For example, Schedule+ constructs a query such as "if resource A AND resource B are busy," show the indicators for the busy times.

In contrast, when Microsoft Schedule+ generates the busy times for required or optional attendees, it constructs a query using the "or" operator. For example, it constructs a query such as "if required attendee A OR required attendee B is busy," show the indicators for the busy times.

This behavior is by design.
