Assign individuals to workload plan | Assign multiple individuals to a workload plan.
Workload plan efficiency If you want to simulate a non-human resource or use a single user to represent a team, you can use the efficiency multiplier. Alternatively, you can use it to reduce the capacity resulting from the workload plan by setting a value below 1. |

There are no limitations for resource entries
Currently, the list of resources has no number limitation. You can view and manage as many Jira entries as you want.

Archived resources - impact on box modules
Archived resources cannot be added to BigPicture teams. If you try to add an archived resource to a team, an error in the Teams module appears.
Restore the archived individual first to add them to the team.
When the resource is archived, its capacity becomes zero, and the team’s availability will be set as Unavailable from the archive date. You can restore it anytime, but team availability must be manually adjusted.
Archived resources are marked as Archived in the following modules:
Gantt module - Resources panel
Resources module
Teams module
Archived users are advised to close their membership period in teams.
Upon archiving a user, the user's availability in the team is changed to Unavailable.
When the user is restored and they are not assigned to any team, their capacity is also restored. The teams’s availability remains Unavailable, and you can set it manually in the Teams module.
The Show archived Resources checkbox is checked by default.
