Roles
List Editor

We've
included several sample role definitions to give you an idea of the kind
of information needs to be included in this section. Feel free to use the
Cadence-supplied roles, or use them to customize your own.
To include
any of the Cadence-supplied roles, simply select the role you'd like to
use in the left pane and select the Move button to move the role to the
right pane. With multiple roles, you may want to reorder using the up and
down Move buttons on the right side of the editor.
Role
Creation
You have
two options when it comes to customizing the role definitions to your own
project and organization. You can either create a new role based on the
Cadence-supplied roles, or start from scratch with a new, blank role. You
can't delete the Cadence-supplied roles or change them permanently -
they'll always be there if you need to revert to the originals.

From the
Roles List Editor, select Add or Edit. You'll see the Role Creation
Editor. The editor itself is the same whichever option you select, however
Add gives you a blank editor and Edit gives you the current selected role.
You'll be prompted to save the roll under a new name, which will appear in
your list of roles on the Roles List Editor.
Role
Title
The Role Title is the title of the role as it will appear in the
finished project plan.
User
Defined Name
The User Defined Name will help you identify the role in the left pane
of the Roles List Editor. It will not appear in the finished plan.
Role
Description
The Role Description is paragraph-formatted text. This is a good area
to describe the overall nature of the role and it's relation to the
organization and the project.
Role
Responsibilities
The Role Responsibilities is list-formatted text. This is a good area
to describe the specific contribution of the role to the project.
Click
Save to close the Role Creation Editor and save the role to your roles
list. Remember to include the role in your plan by moving it to the right
in the Roles List Editor.
Resource Editor

Use the
Resource Editor to keep track of your team. You'll find fields for the
resource name, resource initials, department or functional unit, phone,
and email address. You can reorder and delete selected resources by using
the move buttons on the right. By default, the Project Manager's
information is first in the list and, if entered in the Project Properties
Editor, the Project Manager's name will populate the Project Manager box
at the top of the editor.
Select
Resource Display Options to select the fields visible in the
Responsibility Matrix.
Resource Display Options

The
Resource Display Options allows you to select how your resources will be
displayed in the Responsibility Matrix. Of all the fields you've entered
in the Resource Editor, you can choose up to three for display on the
Matrix.
