Resource Profiles

PeopleSoft Resource Management presents employee information as an editable resource profile that organizes the information from the employee source database and adds information relevant to Resource Management. The resource profile functions as a resource's online resume. It includes skills, education, work history, preferences, specialties, objectives, and general information to match with the requirements specified on a service order resource request or express search for resources.

The resource profile contains the following information about each resource:

Resource Profile Section	Description
Overview	Briefly describes the resource's work objectives and background.
Specialties	Identifies the competencies or competency categories that are strengths or areas of expertise for the resource.
Work Experience	Summarizes the work that the resource has performed. This information is updated automatically by PeopleSoft Resource Management each time a resource receives a new assignment. Information can also be entered manually. You typically use manual entry when the product is implemented or when a new resource joins the organization and wants to add previous consulting experience to the profile. Additionally, you can attach, view, and delete resume documents for the resource in the Work Experience section. Note: If the PeopleSoft Resource Management resource is also established as an eligible resource in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management or Staffing Front Office, the profile will show all of the resource's assignments that were made through any of these products.
Qualifications	Lists competencies and accomplishments that describe the resource, such as competencies, interests, education, licenses and certificates, languages, memberships, honors and awards, and test results. You select the qualifications to track during PeopleSoft Resource Management implementation.
Preferences	Tracks flexible resource preference attributes defined by the organization. The system uses this information to match resources with projects that they prefer.
General Information	Provides access to a resource's address and phone numbers, job information, passports and visas, weekly work days, home airport, assignment restrictions, and other resource attribute values.
Resource Profile (summary)	Appears as a single display-only page. During implementation, you select the sections to appear.
