Express Searching for Resources Without a Service Order

With the Express Search feature, you can specify resource requirements and search for resources to fulfill those requirements in a single session—without a service order. You can define requirements through the use of a qualification profile, or select from a list of qualifications or the Competency tree. You may also specify keywords as part of your criteria. After you define the qualifications, you specify the project start and end dates, and select the group of resources to consider in the search. The Express Search feature uses Search Framework to find resources who meet your qualifications, and ranks the search results according to qualification scores and availability.
