Capacity Resources
---This setup allows you to create and maintain the company's capacity resources.
A capacity resource is an employee or a team of employees. These resources represent the total working capacity of the company — servicing its capacity units or production facilities/machinery.
Capacity resources are also used when assigning a responsible person or team to a PrintVis Case. To make an employee responsible for a case, they must first be created as a capacity resource.
Status Codes - Workflow - Responsibility Area
Capacity resources are also used as a Responsibility Code in the Responsibility Areas setup when the Responsibility Type is set to Indicated.
General
A resource consists of a Code and a Name.
- A capacity resource is often created directly in the PrintVis User Setup, inheriting the same code as the user's login.
- Automatically created resources will have: code, username, and a checkmark in the Type box next to the Person field.
Note: A capacity resource does not need to be a user in the system.
Best practice: - Use the same code for Person/Employee and User Login to ensure proper visibility of user cases in the PrintVis Case List.
After entering Number and Name, you can add: - Private information (address, etc.) - Department of employment
Type Box
Choose whether the resource is a: - Person - Team
Teams represent groups (e.g., Day shift, Evening shift, Night shift). They are commonly used for: - Production planning - Cases requiring multiple responsible parties (via PrintVis User Setup)
Place Field
Use this field to attach a resource to: - Production - Sales Department - Administration
This is a general division, distinct from attaching a resource to a PrintVis department.
Search Name
The system automatically generates a search name based on the person's name.
Capacity Code
If you want to dedicate an employee to a specific capacity unit: - Select the unit from the Capacity Code lookup.
In most cases, avoid attaching a specific capacity code, as employees often work across multiple units.
Salesperson/Purchaser Code
Attach a Salesperson or Purchaser directly to the resource if applicable.

If an email address is entered, clicking the icon next to it opens the default email client with a new message to that address.
