The Select Resource window allows you to choose an existing resource to use at your current location. You will see this window in situations like the following:
When you click the Select Existing icon in any resource wizard.
When you are adding an existing action in an FMEA or in the Project Planner, or an existing control in an FMEA.
The Select Resource window is similar to the Resource Manager, but it shows only the resource type that you are currently working with. The functionality of the window will vary slightly depending on where you have opened the window from.
If you can select only one resource (e.g., in a resource wizard), each row in the table will contain a radio button that allows you to select the resource for use. If you can select multiple resources (e.g., adding existing actions or controls in an FMEA), each row will have a check box instead.
Actions, controls and metrics are always local, so the commands to show global or reference resources will not be available in these cases.
The ability to apply an item filter is available only for resources that have a full set of Synthesis identifiers. This excludes actions and controls.
Some resources may not be available for selection. For example:
In an FMEA, you can't select an action or control that is already assigned to the current cause.
In the project planner, an action cannot be added if it is already in use in the project plan or if its start date is either before or more than a year after the gate's start date.
A metric can't be selected to have a value pushed to it if it's already in use somewhere else, or if it's a type that is not compatible with the current use.
