Object documentationResource Search Results

 

After running the search function, the system displays a list of resources that it determined to be suitable candidates on the basis of the search criteria you defined.

The list also contains the resources you have saved as candidates (see Candidates), regardless of their suitability percentage.

 

The list of search results provides information and functions that help you with further processing.

You can navigate to the detail data of a resource if you require more information.

Note Note

You define which information is displayed in the detail data on the General Data tab, in Customizing for Project Management by choosing Start of the navigation path Resource Management Next navigation step Business Partner Next navigation step Define Display Details for Business Partner End of the navigation path.

In addition to the general data for a resource, you can view the profile matchup of the person’s qualifications and the qualification requirements.

The Projects tab displays an overview of all projects in which the resource is or was involved.

End of the note.

You can store resources as candidates or firmly assign them to a project straight from the list.

The list provides a range of sort functions. To use them, choose the header of the column you want to sort. You can also personalize the list to suit your requirements.

Structure

The list contains the following information:

  • Name of the person

    The name is formatted as a link to the detail data for the resource.

  • Manager of the resource

  • Area and location

  • Location (as attribute of the business partner)

  • Cost/revenue rate

  • Existing assignments

    The system indicates whether the resource is already assigned to the role that is currently selected or whether the resource is marked as a candidate.

  • Organizational unit

  • Suitability percentage (see Suitability Percentage)

  • Location match (as a percentage)

  • Availability match (as a percentage)

  • Overall match (as a percentage)

  • Availability, capacity utilization, and free capacity, taking into account the soft bookings and hard bookings.

    If you are using WFD, note that the availability can only be made up of the hard bookings or the hard and soft bookings together. This depends on the selection criterion you entered on the Availability tab.

You can display a chart by choosing the toggle button Chart to compare the availability of a resource you have searched with the remaining demand of the chosen role. The curve shows the available capacity of the resource; the bars show the remaining demand of the role. The system displays the values of the distributed roles periodically. If the role is not distributed, the system uses simulated distribution to display the values of the role.
