Resource Group

[About Resources] [To Project Management]

Usage

Use this window to define, delete and update resource groups. Examples of resource groups are engineers, developers, etc. You also may think of a resource group as a single person. Each resource group has a cost and a capacity. When entering a new resource group, you should make sure that cost and capacity information is added; otherwise the calculation will lack essential information and the project will seem more profitable than it should. For the description of each tab in the window, follow the appropriate link: Cost, Capacity and Activities.

If you have IFS/Project Reporting (2001 or a later version) installed, you can choose between resources: Standard Price (from Project Reporting) and Cost. A Project Reporting resource will also have the Employee and Standard Price tabs available, and the Cost tab will be disabled. If the resource group is a Project Reporting resource, you must choose report code "%", otherwise the planned cost (when allocating the resource to the activity) will not be calculated.
