Field Description
Search To find and select resources, enter any part of the following in the Search field: Employee first or last name, employee identification number, labor category label, or organization name. To view a full list of all resources, clear the entry in the Search field. This field is automatically cleared when you select a setting from the Showing drop-down list.
Showing If you use Vision Organizations, the Showing drop-down list is available. You can use this drop-down list to specify the organizations included when searching for resources. To include all Vision organizations, select All Organizations. To show only resources belonging to your organization, select My Organization.
Named Resource Click the Named Resources icon to include active employees on the results list. The Resource list updates accordingly. Any employee who is already assigned to the WBS element is excluded because an employee can only be assigned to a WBS element once.
Generic Resource Click the Generic Resources icon to include generic resources on the results list. The Resource list updates accordingly. Any generic resource that is already assigned to the WBS element is excluded because a generic resource can only be assigned to a WBS element once.
Select Resources To select a resource from the Resource list, click the resource name. To select multiple resources, click each one of them. To select a contiguous range of resources, use SHIFT+click.
Sort Columns Click a column's header to enable the sort button . Click the sort button on a column to sort its contents, according to these guidelines:
  • Resources — This setting sorts resources alphabetically in ascending or descending order.
  • Number — This setting sorts named resources alphabetically, to accommodate alphanumeric characters in the IDs. This setting also sorts generic resources alphabetically. Both named and generic resources sort in ascending or descending order.
  • Organization — This setting sorts organizations alphabetically, in ascending or descending order.
An indicator displays beside the column name to indicate how the column is sorted (ascending or descending). By default, Vision Navigator displays the results sorted first by resource type (employee or generic), then by organization name, and then by employee last name and employee first name.
