Resources

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

  • Individuals - This tab lets you 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 Gantt module and Resources module use the information to automate the planning of your tasks.

Security

Access and permissions within BigPicture can be managed and assigned to individuals or groups.
