Ivanti Neurons for PPM allows you to search for Resources. You can refine the search by Project Role, Skills, Capacity, and availability. Within this application, availability refers to the employee's set Available Hours and Operational Percent. Capacity refers to the employee's time available to perform the desired Task, taking into account all other Tasks assigned for the specified date range.

Searching works best when you begin with clearly defined Roles, Skills, and a Resource Plan. For more information, refer to:
