When you access the Resources window, you select the global ID, a starting rate table, and the starting view. You can also filter the items downloaded by resource, Class of Cost (COC), and Element of Cost (EOC). You can open multiple Resource windows, but each must represent a different global set.
You can apply filters to resources when you access a global ID. The filters tell MPM which resources to load. If you want to change the resources loaded, you must close and reopen the global ID.
After you have opened the resources window for a global ID, you can further filter the resources displayed using the filter options available from the Tools menu.
To access the Resources window, complete the following steps:
From the Menu Manager window, do one of the following:
Double-click the Resources and Burdens icon
Click File » Globals » Resources and Burdens
MPM displays the Resources and Burdens Open dialog box.
Select a globals set from the drop-down list box.
Select a starting rate table from the drop-down list box. If you do not want to display the rate table figures initially, or if a rate table does not yet exist, select the <None> option.
To filter the display, do one or more of the following:
Enter a resource code in the Resource field. This field is case sensitive, so be specific when using upper and lower case letters.
Select a class of cost (COC) or element of cost (EOC), but not both.
The filter selections are additive. To be loaded, resources must meet all filter criteria you specify.
Select Resources as the starting view.
To accept the selections and open the Resources tab, click OK.
