Resource Plans Overview

  • Updated

This article an overview of the OnePlan Resource Plans. OnePlan has both plan-level and organization-wide resource planning capabilities.

Global Resource Plan

The Global Resource Plan shows all resource allocation across all the plans. This is a useful page for managers to review allocation across multiple plans.

If your organization is using the Negotiations feature, the email notifications contain a link to the Resource Plan page, filtered for that plan's resources. You can also navigate to the page directly via the Resource Plan icon on the OnePlan navigation menu.
