Resource Demand is defined by the Project Resource Requests which identifies all the resources, either Generic or Named, and the level of effort required for each to complete the project.


To review and approve resource requests:

1. Ensure you are in the Resources area, click Resource Demand in the Resources section.
   
   
2. Use the buttons on the sub-grid tool bar to define the start date, number of periods and view zoom level (typically monthly).
   
   
   Important: This date range not only sets the visible time periods on the screen. It is also used by the resource availability heatmap for each named resource to help you quickly validate that resource’s availability and constrains dates used by the Autofill and Resource allocation functionality.
   
   
3. For all resource requests that require approval and/or replacement of a generic resource with a named resource, expand the resource to see the list of the projects requesting this resource.
   
   
4. Click the ellipses (…) to the left of the project request and select Add Resource.
   
   
5. Select the most appropriate resource from your team who has the skills and availability to work in the project.
   
   
   Tip: This will automatically commit the selected resource to the project based on availability and the request details.
   
   
6. Adjust the committed hours by adjusting the amount in any of the time-based Committed columns.
   
   
7. Click Save once all Resource Requests have been committed.
