Define Project Resources Properties

Resources are the people needed to make sure a project is completed on time. Resources are assigned to project tasks. Resources that you create are automatically available for use in your project.

• Add or remove resources or roles to your project
• Define the project's resource's properties, such as the resource's ID, name, or category
