Add human resources and equipment needed for the project, establish the working program and costs


Based on the project's activities, identify the necessary personnel and equipment.

Fill in the cost rate used for the working hours according to the resource's calendar as Standard rate and the cost rate used for the work beyond the regular working hours as Overtime rate.

By default resources use Company calendar. In special cases, for resources having specific working programs, select one of the existing calendars in the Calendar column. If none of predefined calendars is suitable you can create a new one as indicated at a previous step of the Project Guide.

Usually there are small differences between the working programs of the resources having the same calendar (e.g. days off). Using the Working Time tab in details window (), you may customise the working program for each resource without creating lots of new calendars. Changes which affect all resources sharing the same calendar (e.g. public holidays) should be made in that specific calendar (Settings menu, then Calendar submenu).

If you have more than one resource of the same type (e.g. 5 excavators) you can type "excavator" in the Resource Name column and set Maximum units to 5. A subunitary value indicates the resource is working on the company projects only for a fraction of its working program.
