Redwood: Manage Resource Availability Using a New User Experience
You can now use the Resource Availability page in the Redwood user experience to review and maintain capacity across planning modules. You can edit Resource Available Hours at the day, week, or period granularity including multiselect edits with validation to ensure that values are numeric and nonnegative. The Resource Availability page is accessible from supply plans, demand and supply plans, sales and operation planning plans, and Plan Inputs and supports drills to and drills from Resources, Operation Resources, and Resource Requirements while preserving organization and resource context to speed analysis. Further, to support what-if analysis, you can copy individual edits or all changes to an existing or new simulation set.
The Resource Availability page allows you to view and edit time-phased, resource available hours.
