Define Resource Region

Explanation

This activity is used to define Resource Region. This allows to define applicable regions to resources who are registered as scheduling resources. The regions are defined in the Location Basic Data/Region tab.
Several regions can be assigned to a single resource and the incentive for a resource to work in a region can be set from the region multiplier value on a region-by-region basis. Leaving the within region multiplier empty results in the default value 1 being used , which has no effect for the region multiplier. The value "2" multiplies the incentive for the resource to work in the region with "2". The value "0" means that the Scheduling Engine will not schedule work for the resource in the particular region.
