Resource Members Panel

The Group Type selected in the Definition Panel for the Resource Group determines the type of Resource Members that display in this panel, either Staff or Room.

• • If the Group Type is S - Staff, the Staff column heading displays in this panel, and you can select the staff members that are part of this Resource Group.

Resource Members Panel - Room Groups

Allocations Panel

Use this panel to add or change resource allocations for staff members or rooms. The Master Schedule Builder and Whiteboard use resource allocations to check the availability of staff members and rooms when scheduling course-sections. Allocations must be defined for each school year.

Prerequisite: Intervals, Marking Periods, Cycle Days, and Scheduling Periods must be configured before you can set up resource allocations on this panel.

By default, this panel displays expanded with either: a single grid that allows you to set the same resource allocations for all marking periods (Set for All Marking Periods) or with individual grids for you to set up different resource allocations for each marking period specified on the building's Marking Periods Page.

To change the mode, click the Additional Options icon at the top right of the panel, and select either Set Allocations for Individual Marking Periods or Set Allocations for All Marking Periods, depending on the mode currently displayed.

• • Indicate a resource is available during a timeslot by entering the number of resources that may be scheduled in each Marking Period/Cycle Day/Period slot.
  • Indicate a resource is not available during a timeslot by entering a 0 (zero) in the appropriate Marking Period/Cycle Day/Period slot.
