Introduction

Sometimes you may want to ignore the Resource used in Resource Assignments for a source schedule, and instead refer to the receiving schedule's resource. Here you will see how this can be achieved.

Prerequisites

In order to prevent the sender's resources from being replicated in receiving schedule (since receiver wants to reuse their own existing resources instead of the ones coming from the sender), you need to set this Host System Parameter (HSP) in IEA to false (see red frame):

Example of how it can be done

If you have such a use case, then the following example will give you an idea how to address this:

Screenshot showing example of how this can be done. See below for instructions.

1. Press "Add Core Field" button (1)
2. Select Field "Code" for ResourceUsage in popup-list. (5)
3. Set host Host field to "name” (6) and in formula (7) set the name of the resource you wish to use (or use a value map)

NOTE: If you do not want to hard code the value but use a conditional test instead, you may use a formula like this: 

[VALUE]=="A" ? "X" :

[VALUE]=="B" ? "Y" :

[VALUE]=="C" ? "Z" : "W"      <- use "W" if not found...
