Resource Views vs. Resource Management

Mimi H · 06/16/22

Hello!

My company is in the process of building out a PMO team. I'm trying to dig in to some Smartsheet features that would help with this, but realized that it looks like our plan doesn't cover Resource Management. Is it possible to use Resource Views without having the management functionality? The main goal of this would be to easily view resource allocation at a high level, but I'm struggling to figure out the best way with our current plan.

Any help is appreciated, especially those using Smartsheet for project management purposes. Thanks!

Hi @Mimi H

Smartsheet does have a Legacy Resource Views functionality built into the app, but I wouldn't recommend using this as a long-term solution as it is no longer being updated. Here's the documentation if you wanted to test this out: Legacy Resource Management and allocation

I would recommend looking into Resource Management by Smartsheet though, as it is a much more robust solution that is continually being improved. See: Intro to Resource Management by Smartsheet

Cheers,

Genevieve

It should also be pointed out that the new Resource Management offering comes at an additional cost that is not insignificant
