A resource is an entity used for a project, it carries a capacity : a number of days available to carry out an activity, and it can therefore be associated with a cost.

A resource may be associated with a certain hierarchical level, it may also have a profile (architect, project manager, developer...), and a type (internal, external...).

There are two types of resources:

• Named resource Assigned to a user identified and monitoring for the project. Users Most named resources are created automatically when the user is created. In some cases, however, it may be necessary to create the resource afterwards, in which case it's important to know that the CODE is what associates the user with the resource.
• Generic resource: Enables work capacity to be defined according to a chosen axis (skills, team, external resource). The generic resource is used when the identification of a named resource is impossible or unnecessary (at the start of a project, for example, when the need for an expert is known, but the name of the expert has not yet been identified).
