Resource Groups

Resource groups are collections of resources who can be defined by one or more organizational units, one or more supervisor IDs, or one or more resource pools. A resource group can contain organizational units from different business units.

Resource groups serve two main purposes:

• They can be used to selectively limit, broaden, or redirect the search for resources to different parts of the organization.

• They enable resource managers to specify the resources for which they will manage utilization on the Staffing Workbench component.

Users with access to the Express Search or Staffing Workbench components can establish their own set of resource groups. Users also designate which resource groups are active, which makes the groups easily accessible when searching for resources throughout the system.

Note:

When evaluating resource factor fit scores, Resource Matching only retrieves resources that are members of the resource group specified for the search.
