Re: Grouping / Categorizing resources in ERP

Deborah R --

Your need can be addressed very nicely by building an outline code in the
RBS field in the Enterprise Global, and then populating an RBS value for
everyone in your organization in the Enterprise Resource Pool. For example,
you might build a 3-level RBS code such as this:

Corporate
DBA manager
DBA team member
SoftDev manager
SoftDev team member
NetOps manager
NetOps team member
Desktop Apps manager
Desktop Apps team member
ERP manager
ERP team member

Using an RBS outline code such as the above, you would place your executives
at the Corporate level, your managers at the approrpiate manager level (such
as DBA manager), and your team members at the appropriate team member level
(such as DBA team member) in the Enterprise Resource Pool. By doing so, you
would very literally show Project Server "who reports to whom" and you could
then report on this information within a number of places in Project Server,
including the Portfolio Analyzer. Hope this helps.
