new resource system - employee profiles and primary attributes questions

[Louis Savalli]

In setting up the new resource management system, I understand we have to generate employee profiles and each profile will need a primary attribute for group/role/skill.  My questions are:

a) When someone is placed in a resource group, is there functionality (or is it coming soon) that will automatically update their employee profile?  I know there is a scheduled job to do this but I'm thinking it should be done instantaneously, not once or twice per day.

b) When a new user is created, is there functionality (or is it coming soon) that immediately creates their employee profile?  Again, I understand there is a scheduled job for this, but if a user is added to the user table in the morning, the resource team should not have to wait until the scheduled job runs for them to show up in new resourcing system.

c) Similar question with regenerating group capacity for capacity planning.  Can it, or will it soon happen automatically as the resource groups are changed?

Hi Louis,

Did you ever get this questions answered? I have the same questions and really interested in understanding how the employee profiles work, I ran the job to update them once but how do we get it to set the primary resource automatically when we hire a new user and add them to a resource group? 

[Louis Savalli]

Never did, no.  My solution instead was to automate it with a flow and a script, borrowing the scripts from the scheduled job (or you could run the scheduled job from the flow).

Hello @Namita Mishra could you please help to provide the answer the above question? I would also like to understand how is this intended to work or any suggestion.
Thank you

Hi @Louis Savalli ,
Thank you for this questions. Really need answers for these two questions.

a) When someone is placed in a resource group, is there functionality (or is it coming soon) that will automatically update their employee profile?  I know there is a scheduled job to do this but I'm thinking it should be done instantaneously, not once or twice per day.
Can you please tell me the scheduled job name to update the employee profile details?

b) When a new user is created, is there functionality (or is it coming soon) that immediately creates their employee profile?  Again, I understand there is a scheduled job for this, but if a user is added to the user table in the morning, the resource team should not have to wait until the scheduled job runs for them to show up in new resourcing system.
So, you mean the Employee Profile will be created automatically when the scheduled job runs as the user joins the resource group? Could you please provide the name of the scheduled job responsible for this?
