In this lesson, you will learn how to create and save a resource
query. As a resource manager, you must delegate assignments within a project
to resources. You can search for a resource to identify requirement matches
that are based on attributes, for example, name, skill, or competency.
To create a resource query:
- Open the resource query editor and click Create Query.
- Select User from the list.
- In the Name field, type the query name as Java developer
with three years experience.
- Let us customize the result layout. When you will run
the resource query, the results will be displayed below the query editor.
However, we will learn how to run a resource query later.
- Click the Result Layout tab. You
can add or remove columns to display results for attributes as required.
- In the Sort Order viewlet, click Add
Sort Columns. In
the Select Attributes window, select attributes from the predefined list,
click, Competency. To select multiple attributes, use
the Ctrl key and click education details, name,
and skill. By sorting columns, you can prioritize
the order of attributes and view the result.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
You have successfully created a resource query. However, you haven't
added any conditions and attributes in the query. In the next lesson, we will
learn how to add search conditions and attributes in a query.
