Edit Resource Form Fields

  • Generic: Leave check box unchecked / No.

  • User (Name): Begin typing the name of the user. The available names will authenticate based on user accounts in your Office365 tenant. Select the user name.

  • Quantity: 1 signifies 1 FTE, or one full time resource. Full time is all working hours based on the Calendar settings. 0.5 would signify a part time resource who is available 1/2 time. This affects the resource's capacity.

  • Permissions: Select the appropriate permissions level. See User permissions.

  • Business Unit: Select business unit. Available Business Unit choices are configured on the Fields page, in the section for resource-level fields.

  • Role: Select primary role. Available Role choices are configured on the Fields page, in the section for resource-level fields.

  • Standard Rate: Enter the rate for this user, if different than the rate associated to this user's role (configured on the Cost Categories page).

  • Manager: Begin typing the name of the manager for this user. Select the desired name.

  • Timesheet Administrator: (This field only shows when the Timesheet App has been added) Select this check box if this user is a timesheet administrator.

  • Inactive - Check box if a resource is no longer going to be used in resource planning or using the system.

When editing a resource, it cannot be changed from a named user to a generic or vice-versa. The Display Name field cannot be modified for a named user, as it is tied to that user's Office 365 account.

Marking a resource Inactive will remove that user from the license count for your organization.

Any additional resource-level fields that have been configured on the Fields page (under the Resource heading) will show on the Resource form. Update the fields as needed.
