How do I add an attribute the resource screens?

You can add an attribute the project's resource screens. It appears in the header of the resource data table.

  1. Add a attribute (AdministrationAdministration > Field settings > Attributes > ProjectProject)
  2. Fill in the requested information, and set the theme Resource.
  3. Addattribute a project attribute group. ProjectProject
  4. Add this attribute a form . ViewsViews > formform
  5. Add this form to the project if you haven't already done so Settings - Display tabSettings - Display tab
  6. Enter a value for this attribute or use the default value.
âś…

Theattribute is then added to all resource screens of this project if it has a specific value, and to all projects where this form is added if it uses a default value.

Once it has a value, this attribute can be removed from the form and will continue to appear in the Resources theme .

What happens if I enter global remaining work on a project for the first time?

  • The start date for smoothing the remaining work is set to today's date.
  • The remaining work is smoothed over the duration of the phase:
    • from the start of the phase to its completion,
    • or between the scheduling date scheduling the end of phase, if the scheduling date scheduling after the start of the phase,
    • excluding days that include completed remaining work in the manual, and excluding the resource's non-working days Resources - Calendar tabResources - Calendar tab.
  • availability is visible from the scheduling date until the end of the phase. Thus, depending on the project's priorities and the availability , the project manager manually adjust their assignments by modifying the planned values.
