Edit Resource

This option enables removal of direct links to users and roles. There are three types of data in a typical Resources Edit window: resources, users, roles.

Note: Double-clicking on a users area record opens the Users Edit window for that record. Double-clicking on a role area record opens the Role Edit window for that record.

Resource fields

Include the default fields: Res ID, Res Name 1, Res Name 2, Res Name 3, Owner, Organization, Location. These fields are grayed out and cannot be changed in the Edit Item window. However, they can be changed when the resources database (.rdb file) is open.

The Users Tab

Includes statistical data about the user's roles (direct, indirect and both together) as well as the following fields: Person ID, User Name, Organization, Organization Type, Country, Location, Business Unit, Special Field.

The Show drop-down menu enables showing the following combinations: Direct Links Only, Covered by Roles Only, Covered by Both Roles and Direct Links, All. All is the default.

The Roles Tab

Includes statistical data on the user's roles (direct, indirect and both together) as well as typical resource database fields: Role Name, Description, Organization, Owner, Role ID.

The Show drop-down menu enables showing the following combinations: Roles Linked Directly, Roles Linked Indirectly, Roles Linked Both Directly and Indirectly, All. All is the default.

To remove a direct link

  1. Select the Users or Roles tab from which to remove a direct link.
  2. Select the record in the list that you want to remove.
  3. Click Remove.

    The row disappears from the list.

  4. Click Apply to confirm the changes and return to the configuration window.

Note: No confirmation message appears before removing the link. Indirect links cannot be removed directly. An attempt to remove indirect links generates an error message. An indirect link is removed automatically after removing its direct link.
