Resource Views

When you work with a resource model, you can view resources in a hierarchy of resource types and add folders to further classify and manage resources. You can also view resource allocation by organization, and jump from a resource to its position in the hierarchy.

An object added to the resources list in the Define Resources dialog box appears with an organization_icon.bmp icon, indicating that it is an organization with no swimlane affiliation. If an organization is represented by a swimlane in the diagram, it appears in the resources list with an local.bmp icon.

  1. On the Model toolbar, click the model_resources00001.bmp tool or, on the Model menu, choose Resources.

    2. The Define Resources dialog box appears.

  2. Choose a task below and follow the corresponding procedure.
