Resources

Manage the resources' holidays, work time, and capacity in the following sections:

  • Individuals—This tab allows you to add new resources and define the related information concerning resources.

  • Skills—Each resource possesses a set of skills defined in this section. It is also possible to plan for new skills acquired in the future.

  • Workload plans—The Workload plans are the basis for the resource capacity, i.e. they determine the availability of the resources during the week.

  • Holiday plans—The holiday plans allow you to define the unavailability of the resource. There are two types of holidays: Fixed and Floating.

The information is used by the Gantt module and Resources module to automate the planning of your tasks.
