The contents of the portfolio’s Enterprise Resource Pool (ERP) list are displayed on the landing page of the portfolio Resource Center.

When working with the ERP keep in mind:

• The Enterprise Resource Pool is a list of all users available to work on projects in the portfolio

• The information entered into the Enterprise Resource Pool will influence some of the reporting capabilities available in PM Central

• User information from the ERP is copied to the project site when users are added to a project sites’ Resource Pool

To add users to the ERP:

1. Manually add user information into the list list by selecting the Add New Item link found on the page and completing the associated form.
   
   OR

2. Import users with the User Profile Import utility (see #4)

Under the Resource Assignments tab you will find a Gantt display of all tasks for all projects sorted by resource.
