Attributes are used to determine different properties or characteristics of an object and can be beneficial for grouping and finding data with specific characteristics. There are three attribute types that can be used in Resource Management. Attribute type 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. Attributes are created in Resource Attribute Manager.
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.
Resource attributes and values need to be defined.
Attributes and attribute values are defined and can used for different purposes such as filtering and grouping.
