Define the Resources Properties

Resources are people that are required 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. The resources that display in the Team Resources grid on the Resources tab are those resources that you have already added to the project.

Use the Resources tab on the Project Properties dialog to:

• Add or remove resources or roles from your project.
• Define the project's resource's properties, such as the resource's ID, name, or category.
• View a list of resources added to the project.
• Select your project's team from a list of global resources.

You can manually enter resources in the resource detail pane of a view, define their properties, and assign them to tasks. Resource that you create in the Resource detail pane of a view display in the Team Resources grid on the Resources tab.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Project Properties in the application menu.
2. Open the Resources tab.
3. Complete the fields in the Team Resources grid:

   ID

   Name

   Category

4. Select from the Display Resource By drop-down list to display resources by category or role hierarchy.
5. Click OK.
