Subscribe to a resource pool

You can subscribe to resource pools to view any schedule tasks assigned to the resource pools instead of a specific user. In most cases, a resource pool contains users that all have a similar role, such as schedule or workflow participants, change analysts, and engineers. The schedule coordinator may assign schedule tasks to a resource pool when there are multiple users that can claim that task and work it to completion. Once you claim a schedule task assigned to a resource pool, the task is assigned to you and removed from the list of tasks assigned to the resource pool.

Procedure

1. Click your profile icon and then select Manage Profile to open your user profile page.
2. In Resource Pool Subscriptions, click Add.
3. From the Add panel, use the search box to quickly find a desired resource pool.
4. (Optional) Click the Filter icon for additional search filters. Filters are defaulted to Type, Accessible By Me, Group, or Role:
   • Under Type, select Resource Pool to show all the resource pools in your organization.
   • Under Accessible By Me, specify either No or Yes to show the resource pools you are permitted to join.
   • Specify group members by Group or Role. Enter a name in the specific search box to filter.
5. Click Add. The resource pool appears under Resource Pool Subscriptions.

Now that you have subscribed, you can view the schedule tasks Teams tab to claim schedule tasks assigned to your resource pools.
