Concept: Resource Manager Dashboards

Resource managers use these dashboards to manage their project workers:
  • Resource Manager
  • Resource Pool Manager
They can:
  • Borrow workers from other resource managers.
  • Compare worker attributes.
  • Staff projects.
  • View the status and utilization of their workers.
Resource pool managers can also view and manage workers even if they don't have a role on the same project as the worker.
These dashboards display:
  • The status of workers on a project.
  • A consolidated view of work allocations.
  • Frequently used tasks and reports.
  • Your urgent staffing needs. Workday calculates urgency as the sum of these parameters:
    • Is the project start date - the current date less than 30? (+1)
    • Is the start date for the resource plan line - the current date less than 14? (+1)
    • Does the resource plan line have more than 1 unnamed resource? (+1)
    • Does the resource plan line have requirements? (+1)
    • Is the Project billable? (+1)
To ensure that Workday displays the correct dashboard data, assign managers to a role in the same supervisory organization as their workers. You might also need to assign resource pool managers to multiple supervisory organizations.
