Employee Resources

A Work Order Task can include a list of employees involved in completing the activity. These records, which are referred to as Employee Resources, are used to track time and cost data related to the task.

A Work Order Task's Employees grid lets users associate workers with that work activity. If the corresponding Task Setup record lists default Employees for the activity, the system automatically adds those people to the Task's Employees grid whenever the Task is included on a Work Order.

Select the Employees grid and click the button. The Employees form appears:
Use the Resource pick-list to select an employee (required). By default, the pick-list displays Employees associated with the Work Order's Category.

Click the button to save the record. The new Employee now appears in the Task's Employees grid.
