Lesson 2: Adding search conditions in a resource query

This lesson will help you to learn how to add search conditions in a query.

During project planning, resources may not be identified, allocated, or assigned to a project. In such a scenario, you will create dummy resource query for a project. This dummy resource is called profile. Later when you identify resources, you will replace the profile with the resources.

You must specify the required number of resources who will be a part of the project and the skill set they should possess. Set your query in such a way that you can get the best available resources from the resource pool.

In Lesson 1, you created an empty resource query. Now, you will add various conditions and attributes in the query.

To add search conditions in a resource query:

  1. Open the resource query editor and select the query that you created in lesson 1. Your saved queries are displayed in the My Queries list.
  2. Select Profile from the list.

    1. Click the add iconicon, select the skills attribute, and click the Add attribute condition.
    2. Select the search string Java from the list.
  4. Specify search conditions of the profile by using the OR condition:
    1. Click the add iconicon, select an attribute, and click the Add attribute condition.
    2. Type or select the search string and select the search scope from the list.
  5. Click Save.
