Add, Edit, and Delete Resources

As soon as resources have been created, you can allocate them to activities. These allocations represent employees, equipment, or material necessary for completing an activity. Individual resources that are in use can be displayed graphically using histograms or resource profiles. By creating resource allocations, you can identify times with too many or too few allocations. You can manage your resource library as a list of names or with hierarchical personnel, equipment, and materials.

Ways to access

In the Tilos Explorer, expand Library > Resources and Accounts > Resources. Double-click an existing resource or click the Add on Main Level icon to create a new one.
