Field descriptions for the resource plan form fields.

표 1. Resource Plan form

Field	Description
Number	Automatically generated identification number for the plan.
Resource type	Category of resource. To select a group, select Group. To select an individual user, select User. To select a resource by role, select Role.
Group	Specific group resource to associate with the plan. If you select Role in the Resource type field, then the Group list contains groups only for the selected role.
User	Specific user resource to associate with the plan. This field appears if you select User in the Resource type field.
Role	Specific resource role that you want to associate with the plan. This field appears if you select Role in the Resource type field.
Members preference	Specific members, any member, or all members from the selected group or role. The default is All members. This field appears only when the Group or Role option is selected in the Resource type field. To request all members of a group or role, select All members. The requested time gets split among all members of the selected group or role proportionally depending on their capacity. Before making the hard allocation, if all members are not required, the resource manager can select only the desired members of the group or role. To request specific members of a group or role, select Specific members, and then select members from the Members list. The requested time gets split among the selected members of the selected group or role proportionally depending on their capacity. To select any member of a group or role, select Any member. Resources that are most available during the plan duration are requested first. Soft allocation is created only for these resources on confirmation. For more information about the effect of members preference on the calculation of hours for soft and hard allocations, see Resource allocation. 주: This field is not available by default on the form when opened from the resource grid. If required, you can configure these fields. If the resource plan is created from the list view, the fields are already available.
Skills	Specific skills the requested resources should possess to allocate them to the resource plan. This field appears if you select Group or Role in the Resource type field, and All members or Any member in the Members preference field. For more information, see Skills Management.
Request type	Type of request. To specify a request in hours, select Hours. To specify a request in full-time equivalents, select FTE.
FTE	Number of units for the full-time equivalent selection. This field appears if you select FTE in the Request type field. For more information, see Resource plans.
Planned hours	Estimated number of work hours required to complete all resource plan work. 주: If all users in a resource plan have the same schedule and that schedule is different from the resource management schedule, then the user's schedule is considered to calculate planned hours,
Name	Descriptive name for the plan. If you do not enter a name, the name becomes the Number + Short description. If the short description for the task is empty, the plan number is used.
Task	Task to which the plan applies. If the resource plan was created from a project task, the task number appears here.
Start Date	Start date for the resource plan. By default, this field shows the Planned start date of the associated project record or task record. Edit the default date, if necessary. 주: The start date of the resource plan cannot be before the project or demand start date if the Do not allow resource plan dates to be outside the Project/Demand dates property is enabled.
End Date	End date for the resource plan. By default, the date is derived from the Planned end date of the associated project record or task record. Edit the default date, if necessary. 주: The end date of the resource plan cannot be after the project or demand start date if the Do not allow resource plan dates to be outside the Project/Demand dates property is enabled.
Allocation spread	Type of hard allocation. The value in this field determines the manner in which the allocated hours are spread while creating hard allocations. Select either option: Even: Create resource events for the resource by splitting the hours evenly across all working days for the allocation duration. Front load: Create resource events for the resource by filling up all available slots of the resource from the start date of the allocation. For example, if a resource is requested for 30 hours in Week 10: Selecting Even equally divides 30 hours to all weekdays, that is, 6 hours per day for a five-day work week. Selecting Front load first consumes all available hours on Monday, then move on to Tuesday, and so on, until all 30 hours are allocated. If the resource is not available for 30 hours in Week 10, Front load over-allocates by filling up the remaining hours from start date up to 24 hours per day. 주: This field is not available by default on the form when opened from the resource grid. If required, you can configure these fields. If the resource plan is created from the list view, the fields are already available.
State	State of the resource plan. The plan starts in the Planning state. 주: This field is not available by default on the form when opened from the resource grid. If required, you can configure these fields. If the resource plan is created from the list view, the fields are already available.
Rate override	Option for overriding the hourly rate derived from the rate model or the labor rate card. When the option is selected, The planned, confirmed, and allocated costs of the resource plan is derived from the rate specified in the Resource Rate field. When the user submits the time card for the resource plan, the rate specified in the Resource Rate field is used to calculate the actual cost of the resource plan. The option is enabled only if the resource plan is in the Planned state. By default, the option is not selected.
Resource rate	Hourly rate of resource that overrides the hourly rate returned from the rate model to calculate the planned and actual costs of the resource plan. This field appears when the Rate override option is selected. If you clear the Rate override check box, the resource rate value is also cleared and removed from all calculations. On selecting the Rate override check box again, the previous resource rate is not retrieved.

주:

The Members Preference, Allocation spread, and State fields are not available by default on the form when opened from the resource grid. If required, you can configure these fields. If the resource plan is created from the list view, the fields are already available.
