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.
