Understanding Methods of Creating Pools

You can create or modify resource pool assignments by five methods in PeopleSoft Resource Management:

• Create a named resource.

• Add a generic resource directly to the pool.

• Pull a resource from the unassigned pool.

• Batch load resources and pool assignments.

• Transfer resources between pools.

When you create a resource by using the Create Resources page or the Create Resources Program page, you specify the pools to which the resource belongs. Specifying the pool at the time of resource creation streamlines the process of assigning pools.
