Configure Resource DetailsAll Editions
We’re excited to announce the new Resource Details, which allow you to flexibly configure custom fields, sections, and tabs to manage resource data based on your organization’s needs. This update helps resource managers quickly and easily maintain information about their resources.
To open the Resource Details, navigate to the Resource Pool, hover over the respective resource, and click the square icon at the end of the row:
Changed Resource Details Configuration
With this release, your previous Resource Details will be replaced by the configurable Resource Details. All of your existing resource data will be automatically transferred to the new interface, but the configuration of the details will change for you and your users:
You will see three tabs:
- Details: Contains all previously available fields except Start Date, Termination Date, Calendar, Absences, and Part-Time Working Model. The distribution of fields across sections has been partially reorganized.
- Availability: Contains all information related to a resource's availability, such as Absences and Start Date.
-
Allocations: This tab remains unchanged because it is a system tab and cannot be deleted.
The Linked User field is no longer editable. To link resources with users, go to Manage > Users.
You can customize the view at any time by renaming or deleting tabs and sections, as well as adding or removing fields. To do so, click Configure Details in the toolbar:
Use Custom Resource Fields for Your Planning
Under Manage > Custom Fields > Resources, you can add and edit your own resource fields, just as you do with project and program fields. These fields can be used in the configuration of the Resource Details and in the Resource Overview (Beta).
Learn more in the article Manage Custom Resource Fields.
A number of system fields are also available for resources, such as Resource Manager or a resource’s start and termination date.
Customize Resource Details Flexibly and According to Your Needs
Under Manage > Types & Configurations > Resource > Resource Details, you can define which information is displayed in a resources's details and how it is structured. Customize your resource details view by adding, renaming, and arranging tabs, sections, and fields as needed using drag and drop.
Once you complete your configuration, the new view is automatically applied to all resources. The settings you configure apply system-wide for all users. Depending on their individual permissions, users will only see the tabs and sections they have access to.
Learn more in the article Configuring Resource Details.
