Create a resource
Create a resource from the KairoProject landing page: enter its details and assign it an existing calendar so its availability is accurate.
KairoProject
The walkthrough
The video starts from the KairoProject landing page and shows how to create a new resource from there. A resource is a person, or a team member, who carries out the tasks of your projects.
Enter the resource's details
You fill in the data that describes the resource. This is the information KairoProject will then use to assign tasks and follow the load of each person.
Assign an existing calendar
Last step: you assign an existing calendar to the resource. The calendar defines the resource's working days and time slots, so its availability matches reality. If you have not created one yet, start with the tutorial Create a calendar.
Worth remembering
Create your calendars first, then your resources. You can then reuse the same calendar for every resource that shares the same working hours.
What comes next
Your resource is ready. You can create a new project, then add tasks to it. To see what happens when several projects compete for the same people, read the guide Some resources are overloaded: what should you actually do?.
