Resource Lookups for Action Items

CA Clarity PPM provides the following stock lookups for use with the Action Item Assignees functionality:

Resource Browse (SCH_BROWSE_RESOURCE)
All Resources Browse (LOOKUP_RESOURCES_ALL)

The lookup definitions contain the following general properties:

Object = Resource and the Parent Window
Hidden Key = ID value from SRM_RESOURCES table

The CA Clarity PPM process Action Item Assignees functionality expects the internal record ID for a Resource record, which is stored on the SRM_RESOURCES table. The functionality does not expect a user record ID. You can create a custom attribute that uses a stock Resource Browse lookup type, or you can create your own dynamic query lookup definition.

The most commonly used system-supplied lookup that meets this criteria is the Lookup ID = "SCH_BROWSE_RESOURCE". Using this lookup, you can create your own dynamic lookup that returns the SRM_RESOURCE.ID value as the hidden key value in the lookup.

Note: Do not confuse the Resource Browse lookups with similarly named resource or user lookups.
