In the resource overview, you can control the resource utilization. Resources can be employees or objects used for work such as rooms, vehicles or machines. InLoox PM 7 differentiates between internal resources (i.e. Exchange Server mailboxes) and external resources (i.e. email and fax contacts). InLoox PM 7 uses the free/busy-feature of Microsoft Exchange Server for internal resources and integrates the information (busy, tentative and out of office) into the workload diagram.
