Assemble the resource group

This step is not necessary if you have chosen on the project’s Settings tab that time registration is permitted for all employees (General project), or for a department's employees (if you use the TimeLog Departments extension). If on the project's Settings tab you have chosen that time registration is only permitted for allocated employees, this step is not necessary either, but can be done to make the direct allocation of employees easier and quicker, since by using direct allocation, you are searching among the resource group's members.

On the Resource group tab, the employees are chosen that will be in the resource group. First, click Add resources. Then employees can be searched for using lists and free text search.

Employees in the employee list that match the search terms are suggested, along with an hourly rate dependent on the project’s hourly rate settings (see 3.2 Rate hierarchy).

If you want the resources’ hourly rate to be different from what was suggested, it can be changed for the employee before you click Add. If there is only one employee that matches the search criteria, the employee can be added to the resource group by clicking Enter when in the free text search field.

When all the necessary resources are added, click Cancel to go back to the list of resource group members.
