Manual selection of project category
====================================

.. index:: Manual selection of project category

In case of project resources differing from the resource pool, you
can use this function to define which resource you want to use in which
ways.

The list of project resources contains the resources (with deviations)
used in a project. The list of the resource pool contains the project categories 
saved in the resource pool (the program filters automatically the
resources that match with the project resources and the resource pool in
the field **Filter**).

In order to align manually the project categories with the categories contained in
the resource pool file, do as follows:

- In the table **Project resources** mark the category you want to align.
- Click on one of the following buttons:

  - Click on the button **Use resource pool** if you want to use the
    resource pool categories.
	
    **Note:** this button is active only when you have selected an
    item for the resource pool.
	
  - Click on the button **Replace resource pool** to replace the
    resource pool category with the project resource category.
	
    **Note:** this button is active only when the allocation of a
    resource pool to the project resource via the code has been
    successful.
	
  - Click on the button **Add to resource pool** to add the project
    resource to the resource pool (the group properties are entered
    in the existing group, but not in the group name of the project
    resource).
	
    **Note:** this button is active only when you have selected a
    group in the table Resource pool.
	
  - Click on the button **Add to a new group in the resource pool** to
    add the project resource and the group name to the new group in
    the resource pool.
  - Click on the button **Delete from all project activities** to
    delete the project resource.

- If necessary, switch to another tab to align the resources.
- Click on the button **OK**.
