Perform this activity to create attributes that can be used in Resource Management. Attributes are used to determine different properties or characteristics of an object and can be beneficial for grouping and finding data with specific characteristics. The three attribute types Resource, Shift and Scheduling determine on what object they can be used. There are system defined attributes that comes with the installation as well as the possibility to create user-defined ones.
Create attributes of type Resource, Shift or Scheduling and define if the attribute value should be a text, date or a number field. It is also possible to connect a list of values to the attribute by defining an existing view or alternately, by defining a user-defined list in the Resource Attribute Values page and connect it to the attribute through the method RES_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE(ATTRIBUTE_ID).
The attribute type Resource can be used to define attributes on resources.
The attribute type Shift can be defined on resource shifts and on resource shift types. If defined on a shift type, and that shift type is used in a shift pattern template, the attribute will be included when generating resource shifts.
The attribute type Scheduling can be used for integration to resource scheduling tools. The system defined attributes of this type are specifically designed to be used with the PSO integration.

Attributes and attribute values are defined and ready to be used in different parts of Resource Management.
