Identify resources

Rillsoft Project provides two types of resources:

Resource pool - A total list of resources that can be allocated to project activities. Resource pools can be used for one or several projects.
Project resources - Resources that can be used for one project only.

Resources are: roles, teams, employees, tamngible means, materials and mchines that can be assigned / allocated to a project for the execution of activities.

Ressource pool or project resources?

In general, if you open Rillsoft Project, the resource pool is active.

Name and path of the current resource pool file is shown in the left corner of the status bar.
The right corner of the status bar indicates whether you use a resource pool or project resource for the opened project.

Caution: If during the opening of the project the resources used by this projects differs from the resource pool, the program switches automatically from the resource pool to the project resources.

For manual toggling between resource pool and project resources, there are two commands in the menu bar:

Project / Shift to resource pool
Project / Shift to project resources

If, for instance, the project resources are active, the menu item Project / Shift to project resources is not available.

Shift project resources to resource pool

If the project resources match the resource pool, users do not recognize the shifting from one to the other resource.
The shifting to project resources does not require the user to take any additional action.
If, during the shifting process to the resource pool, there are differences between project resources and resource pool, the program issues a list with the deviations. Then, you can choose between using project resources and resource pool.

Creating and adjusting resources

In order to create resources in the resource pool, select the menu item Tools / Resource pool.
In order to create and adjust project resources, select the menu item Tools / Project resources.

Here, you can:

adjust and edit existing resources
create new resources
import resources from a text file
