Deactivating Resources

[Scott Q]

Hi,

As an Administrator, I have been able to deactivate resources that no longer
work for my company in MS Project Server. Problem is however, that in the
various screens within MS Project Server that lists all the resources, these
deactivated resources still show.

How do I truely deactivated resources and remove them completely from view?

Many thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

You could use a Custom Resource Enterprise Field (Active / InActive) and
this field to the various views and filter out on the field.

Hope this helps.

As Gordon states, you can use this field to filter views. However, you
don't need to create a new Enterprise Custom Field to do it. "Active"
is already a resource-level field in MOPS, and is usable on Resource
Center views.

I'd just use "Clean up Project Server database" in the Admin page of PWA and
delete resources that have left the company, if there's no need to maintain
the linked assignments for work/cost data.

That would be the main reason to deactivate a resource rather than delete it
entirely.
