Resource Filter Lightning Component Fields

The Resource Filter component incorporates a Skills filter and enables you to filter a list of resources.

Note:

You can show or hide standard fields, control field behavior, and add your own custom fields to the Resource Filter. For more information, see Resource Filter Lightning Component Properties.

Resource Filter Fields

The following fields are displayed.

Key: * – Mandatory field.

Fields

 

Description
End Date * The end date, as specified on the resource request, or the value selected in this field. The Start Date and End Date fields are used to determine resource availability, calculated as a percentage value. For more information, see Availability (Percentage).
Group   The group the resource is assigned to, as specified on their contact record.
Include Recommended Resources  

When selected and a search is applied, Intelligent Staffing sorts resource results by rank ascending order. Resource attributes and specified weightings are considered. Results might include resources who do not match all filter criteria when an attribute is not considered an essential match.

Note:

Select Include Recommended Resources Default in the component properties in Lightning App Builder for Include Recommended Resources to be selected by default in the Resource Filter. For more information, see Resource Filter Lightning Component Properties.

When selected, the Rank column is also displayed. When deselected, the Rank column is not displayed, and resources are sorted by availability. For more information about how the rank is calculated, see Intelligent Staffing for a Resource Request and see Resource Search Service Settings.

Include Sub-Groups  

Include resources in all sub-groups belonging to the selected parent group.

Note:

Include Sub-RPGs filter fields display when you filter a parent RPG filter field in the Resource Filter. For example, a selected Group. Include Sub-Groups is displayed by default. When Group is blank, Include Sub-Groups is not displayed. This behavior matches Include Sub-Practices and Include Sub-Regions.

Include Sub-Practices   Include resources in all sub-practices belonging to the selected parent practice.
Include Sub-Regions  

Include resources in all sub-regions belonging to the selected parent region.

Note:

Select Include Sub-Regions by Default in the Lightning App Builder for Include Sub-Regions to be selected by default in the Resource Filter. For more information, see Resource Filter Lightning Component Properties.

Minimum Availability (%)  

The minimum availability percentage threshold value a resource must have to be returned in the resource list. Resources below this minimum threshold, and resources without a % availability value, are not returned.

To configure default behavior for the Minimum Availability (%) field in the Resource Filter, see Resource Filter Lightning Component Properties.

Practice   The practice the resource is assigned to as specified on the resource's contact record.

Resource  

Filter by resource name. Enter one or more characters in this field. The search is not case sensitive. Resources associated with an account beginning with the same characters as those you enter for the resource name search are also returned in any results.

For example, the following results return as matches when you enter "Sam":
  • Samantha Bullgrass
  • SamBul
  • Kim Asam
Resource Role   The role of the resource as specified on the resource's contact record. This value defaults to the role on the resource request.
