Trimble Tilos Help
Use the Resource view and Resource Properties dialog to create and edit resources. Resources are for example employees, equipment and materials that are necessary for Activities in projects.
Permanent resources are resources that can be used on further Activities after they have finished the work on others. As soon as a resource is no longer needed for an activity, it is available for another Activity. These are mainly employees, workers or equipment.
Consumable resources are mainly materials built in the project.
Component Resources may consist of several permanent and consumable resources
As soon as resources have been created, they can be allocated to Activities. These allocations represent employees, equipment or material necessary for completing an activity. The use of individual resources can be graphically displayed using Histograms or Resource Profiles. By creating resource allocations, you can identify times with too much or too little allocation.
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.
You can manage your resource library as a list of names or with hierarchical personnel, equipment and materials.
To add new resources click the icon 'Add On Main Level' , to add subordinate resources Click 'Add Sub Resource'.
To delete selected entries of the listed resources Click 'Delete'. To open and edit the properties of a resource Click 'Properties'.
