Setting up the Resource Management Workspace

Installing the Workspace

In this release, the PSA Workspaces is not currently part of the FinancialForce PSA core product. Contact FinancialForce Onboarding to have the PSA Workspaces package installed into your org.

Complete the following setup for your users to access the Resource Management workspace:

  1. The PSA - Workspaces - Resource Management permission set provides access to the Resource Management workspace. Assign the PSA - Workspaces - Resource Management permission set to the users that require access to the workspace.
  2. The workspace links to various parts of the product and is populated by the relevant records. To view the workspace correctly with populated data, you must ensure that your users have the necessary permissions sets to access the following objects:
    • Assignment
    • Contact
    • Expenses
    • Expense Reports
    • Project
    • Rate Cards
    • Resource Request
    • Skill
    • Timecards
    • Time Period
    • Utilization Detail
    • Utilization Results
    • Utilization Summary
  3. Manually add the Resource Management Workspace tab to any apps. By adding this tab to the relevant apps you gain maximum benefit from the Resource Management workspace, supporting your workflows, and reducing the time needed to access the information required in your role.
    The PSA - Workspaces - Resource Management permission set provides access to the Resource Management workspace.
  4. Add the Resource Management Workspace tab permission on the profiles that require access to the workspace.
  5. Apply for the tab permissions on the Time Entry and Multiple Expense UI Entry after the package installation is completed.
  6. Set up sharing by groups or roles for the users that you want to access the Resource Demand by Role report. Applying the appropriate sharing settings for groups and roles determines how the report is displayed for different users.
