What is the easiest way to tell what resources a settler is assigned to in Fallout 4? [duplicate]

My Sanctuary Hills settlement in Fallout 4 has 14 settlers and I'm struggling to tell what resources each of them are assigned to - or if they're assigned to any resource at all.

Currently the only way I know to see assigned resources is by hovering over a settler in workshop mode their assigned resources will highlight in green.

This works okay if they are standing near their resource - but as my settlement has grown in physical size/ complexity/ population it's become harder and harder to use this method.

Is there another way to see which settlers are assigned to which resources?

Best Answer

As mentioned in the answer in the comment, hovering over settlers will highlight the resources they are assigned to.

Additionally, if you hover over a resource, you can check the information window. If the settler symbol in it is red and not green, there is no worker assigned to it and therefore, it won't do anything.
