Planning Configuration Overview
Use Planning Configuration to establish the default, system-wide settings for Planning users. When you establish defaults, you eliminate much of the preliminary setup and make it possible for users to create new plans more quickly.
Use Resource Management Settings to establish the default, system-wide setup for Resource Management. This includes Resource Utilization and Generic Resource Assignment settings, as well as grid-specific settings.
The System Administrator determines the options available to users. Then, in Planning or Resource Management, users modify plan-specific settings.
