Resource Columns of the Assignments Table
Active option
Determines whether the resource is currently active. A selected option indicates the resource is active.
Non-active resources might have left the organization, but are not deleted from the system since they might have actual hours.
Auto Compute Actuals option
Determines whether the activity actual and remaining units, and start and finish dates for the resource are calculated automatically using the planned dates, planned units, and the activity's schedule percent complete.
If this option is selected, the actual/remaining units and actual dates are automatically updated when project actuals are applied. This assumes that all work by the resource proceeds according to plan.
Note: This option is not available if the Uses Timesheets option is selected.
Default Units/Time field
The default units/time for resource assignments in projects, which is shown as either a percentage or units/duration depending on your settings in My Preferences.
If you change the default setting, existing resource assignments are not affected. The default setting only applies to new resource assignments.
email Address field
The email address for the resource.
Employee ID field
The resource identifier within the organization, typically the employee number or social security number.
Max Resource Units/Time field
The maximum work units per time this resource can perform on all their assigned activities
For example, if the selected resource is one person, a reasonable value may be 8 hours (units) per day (duration). In this case, the Max Units/Time would be 8.00h/d, or 8 hours of work per day. Similarly, if the selected resource is a department with 5 people, then the Max Units/Time may be 40.00h/d. This means that 5 people can perform 40 hours of work per day, rather than 1 person performing 8 hours of work per day.
Max Role Units/Time field
The maximum work units per time this role can perform on assigned activities.
Office Phone field
The office phone number for the resource.
