Add Resources or Roles to the Idea Staff

The team staff page of an idea displays a list of the resources or roles that are added to your idea. All resources are automatically allocated at 100 percent of their available working days. You can adjust the value to meet your needs.

When adding resources to your idea staff, chances of over-allocation of the resource can happen. In this case, a confirmation page appears to either over-allocate the resource, or to accept the remaining availability of the resource.

Note: You can add multiple instances of a role to an idea. But not multiple instances of the same named resource. For example, assign “programmer (1)” and “programmer (2)” to represent two different requirements with a programming role.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the idea.
2. Click Team.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Click Add to select individual resources or roles for the idea staff.

     The Select Resources page appears.

   • Click Add/Update by OBS to add all the resources in a selected OBS unit to the idea staff.
4. Select the resources and roles to add to the idea staff.

   Use the Search Filter to find resources or roles by name or other criteria.

5. Click Add to add the resources and roles.
6. Save the changes.
