Resource Field DefinitionsResource The name of the resource. Remaining Units/Time The rate at which the resource performs work for the activity, expressed as units per duration or a percentage, depending on a preference you set. To set this preference, choose File, User Preferences (Alt+F+U), then select the Time Units tab. Role ID The role ID assigned to the resource. A role is a job title or skill, for example, carpenter or quality assurance inspector. Depending on the way a project has been set up, a resource could be assigned to the same activity more than once, performing different roles. Primary Indicates if a resource is the primary resource for the selected activity. Resource Type Indicates whether the resource is labor, nonlabor, or material. Start The date the resource began or is scheduled to begin work for the selected activity. Finish The date the resource finished or is scheduled to finish work for the selected activity. Cost Account The Cost Account Name applied to the resource assignment. Planned Units The number of work units planned for this resource on the activity. Prior Actual Units The resource's regular and overtime units worked on the selected activity. Note: The actual units you record are pending for the activity and can be modified by the project manager. Depending on your organization's processes, the progress you report on this tab can be used to update the project when actuals are applied. Remaining Units The number of work units the resource is still expected to perform for activity. New Remaining Units or Percent Complete Use this field to report estimates of remaining work. A project-level administrative setting determines whether you estimate progress on started activities in terms of New Remaining Units or Percent Complete. For in progress activities, select your name in the Assigned Resources area, and use the available field to report either the number of work periods you will need to complete the activity or the percentage of work you have completed for the activity. If you are the activity's primary resource, you can also record remaining work estimates for nonlabor and material resources assigned to the activity. Note: New remaining units or percent complete values you enter are pending and can be modified by the project manager before actuals are applied to the project. Completed Mark this checkbox to indicate that you have completed your work for an assignment. A project-level option determines if you can record your assignments as completed. If this feature is not turned on, the completed checkbox is disabled. Tip A P6 Progress Reporter user preference lets you choose to hide your completed assignments on the Resources details tab and in your timesheets. If this preference is set to not display completed assignments, "Filtering Completed Assignments" appears above the column headings on the Resources tab and, when you mark the Completed checkbox, the assignment is immediately removed from the Resources tab.
