Resource Work Zones

Work zones provide two major capabilities—the first is to define the areas within which a resource is allowed to work (or is restricted from working outside of). The second is to support the ability to cap or stop activities from being booked at certain times on a zone-by-zone basis (capacity management).

You can assign work zones to resources through any level within the Resource Tree (group, bucket or resource). An exception is temporary work zones – you can set them only at an individual resource level. If you set work zones at a group or bucket level, then their child entities (resources) inherit the same settings. If you set work zones at the resource level, then those settings override any higher-level settings. Given those rules, ensure that before assigning work zones, you have selected the correct entity from the Resource Tree. The process of assigning work zones is the same for all levels. This document includes the steps for assigning work zones to individual resources.
