About the Shared Resource Pool Project (Microsoft Project)

With the Microsoft Project Interface Legacy, you can have a shared resource pool project. When you open a master project in Microsoft Project, the subprojects and nested subprojects are opened and linked to the master project. A shared resource pool project is created locally when resources are shared across multiple projects.

Example:

<project name>_pool.mpp

This shared resource pool project allows the master project to share its resources with its subprojects. The shared resource pool is associated with the master project and opens only when you open the master project. When you save a master project in Microsoft Project back to CA Clarity PPM, all project teams update with the resources from the shared resource pool. The subprojects must be read-write.

Note: The Microsoft Project Interface (updated version) integrates resources that are shared across multiple projects through the master project resource sheet.
