Resource Manager Interface - Sharing Resources
Office Wide Groups are meant to allow the sharing of
resources between departments. This is important when a
workflow process involves more than one department. In order
to allow another manager to use resources from another
manager's department, the direct manager needs to put these
resources into an Office-Wide Group.
Let's go through an example of this. First we will need to
set up a department and a resource. Click on Your Departments
and then right mouse click. Choose New Department. Go ahead
and change the name to Test Department. Then click on Test
Department. Right mouse click and choose New Resource. Change
the name to Tester.
Now let's set up an Office Wide Group. Click on Office-Wide
Groups and then right mouse click. Choose New Group. Rename
the group to Global Systems Testing.
Now that we have both the resource and the office wide group
set up, we need to share the resource. You can do this one of
two ways.
- can drag and drop Tester from the Test Department to
the Global Systems Testing group.
- You can right mouse click on Tester after you have
highlighted the name and choose Copy as Shared. You can
then highlight the Global Systems Testing group and right
mouse click. Then choose Paste.
NOTE: After you have completed this tutorial you will
want to delete these entries. You can do that by clicking on
the resource or department name. Right mouse click and choose
Delete.
