This tool exposes a dialogue that can be used configure Full Names and hourly charge rates for
resources used with- in the map. These added properties are used by the
publishing capability.
The editor also supports importing resource details from other maps (See below).
The Full Name assignments are used in place of Resource names in to-do and other planner
worksheets. The hourly charge rate is used to populate the costs of activities when
Work is assigned.
To use this editor, select the Resource from the pane on the left and then edit the Full Name and/or
Hourly Rate. Choose another resource or click OK to commit your changes.
Use the "Add Resource" area to add resources to the map.
The "Import Resource List from another Open Map", allows you to merge or replace the full
name and hourly rate definitions for the current map, based on the details stored in another open
map.
To import another map's resource definitions, open the map before entering the Resource Editor,
then in the editor click "Import Resource List from another Open Map", choose the map and then
click "Import". The resource definitions from the selected map will then be displayed in the
Editor. You can now edit them and click "Save" to commit your changes to the map.
The "Replace" capability will remove any existing Full name and Hourly rate definitions before
importing the other map's resource definitions, this effectively "replaces" the existing definitions.
(NOTE: the editor also transverses the map for resources uses against topics, therefore, even if a
resource definition doesn't exist in the "replaced" set of definitions, if it is still used in the map, it
will appear in the editor).
