Resources Table
The Resources table is available from the Navigator by selecting Projects > Resources, Programs > Resources, or Products > Resources.
* 
• The Resources table that appears on activity information pages under the Related Objects tab provides different information and available actions. For more information, see Activity Information Page.
• Resources are only available for products that include a plan. For more information, see Create a Plan.
Use this table to create new resources, edit resource attributes, and view information about existing resources. Actions and information available for a resource might vary depending on your individual user access.



Table Views
Similar to the Schedule table, the Resources table has several default views, each of which provides different information about the resource.
You can create custom views from the default views by saving the standard view with a new name and customizing the new view. For more information about changing table views, see Using Tables and Personalizing Tables and Table Views.

The calculated cost of a resource based on the activities with which it is associated. The amount is based on the resource standard rate and cost per use.

Cost/Use
Any additional cost per unit time that should be calculated in the overall cost of activities assigned to the resource.
The cost per use is adjusted according to the percentage of the resource time used. For example, if your resource is a piece of equipment, it might have a fee of $60 that is separate from its hourly rate. If you assign that machine as a resource and allocate 50% of its use to that activity, then $30 is added to the activity cost.

Standard Rate
Specifies the cost of the resource over a given period of time. Accepted rate values include:
• per minute
