Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Editing resource information in a resource pool, part of Advanced Microsoft Project.
When a Resource Pool is connected to one or more…sharer files, you have three options for opening it.…If you wanna make changes to resources,…such as updating cost rates or when people work,…one of those three options is your best bet.…Let's open up the Resource Pool.…I'm gonna go to my "Exercise Files" folder…and I wanna open up the subfolder for chapter 10.…Now I'm gonna double-click the Resource Pool…that we used in a previous movie.…
It's ResourcePool_1003.…I'm gonna double-click that file name.…That launches Project and it opens up…the "Open Resource Pool" dialogue box.…There are three options in this…dialogue box with lengthy labels.…So let me give you the lowdown on what each one does.…The first one is gonna open up…the Resource Pool as read-only.…Now that means you're not gonna be able…to make any changes to the data in the pool,…but other people are gonna be able to work…on their projects that are connected to this pool.…
Why might you select this option?…Well let's say that you wanna open up the Resource Pool…
