Tips and Best Practices

Use these recommended practices to keep Resource Planning accurate, current, and easy to manage.

  • Save changes regularly: Select Save after assigning, scheduling, or adjusting work orders to ensure updates are committed to JD Edwards.

  • Review before saving: Confirm resource assignments, dates, and visible indicators before committing changes.

  • Use filters to reduce noise: Filter by branch, template, work order type, or resource type to focus on the work that needs attention.

  • Validate unsaved changes: Use the yellow visual indicator to identify assignments that have not yet been saved.

  • Refresh when needed: Use manual refresh when the planning board may not reflect the latest JD Edwards data.

  • Use Reset carefully: Reset discards the current user’s unsaved changes and returns the view to the last saved state.

  • Use Purge only when appropriate: Purge clears unsaved changes at the tenant level and should be used only when broader cleanup is required.

  • Confirm assignment settings: If Assignable Resources are not visible, confirm that Enable Assignments is selected under Branch Preferences.
