Inflectra Customer Forums: Using the Resources features to manage 'non-personnel' roles (Thread) I wondered if anyone had used the Resources features in SpireTeam to manage 'non-personnel' things like hardware & physical machine IDs, datasets or even office space/equipment etc? Did this work? Or is there a better way to track 'non-human' resource allocation and usage than via Resources? I was thinking we could create a range of 'non-human' Role types , much the same as people often do in Outlook? en-US(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.support@inflectra.com/Computers/Software/Project_Management//Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/KronoDesksupport@inflectra.comhttp://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads120/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/94.aspxthreadId=94Andy Smith (andy.smith@infoterra-global.com)Using the Resources features to manage 'non-personnel' roles I wondered if anyone had used the Resources features in SpireTeam to manage 'non-personnel' things like hardware & physical machine IDs, datasets or even office space/equipment etc?

I can't think of a better way, so I'd try it and see how it works. If you have feedback on that approach let us know and we can incorporate into a future version of the system.Mon, 20 Jun 2011 19:03:18 -04002011-06-20T19:03:18-04:00/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/94.aspx#reply189messageId=190Andy Smith (andy.smith@infoterra-global.com)OK, thanks. I'll do that and let you know. Important question - would these 'non-humans' be treatOK, thanks. I'll do that and let you know. Important question - would these 'non-humans' be treated as licensed concurrent Users? Or would they effectively be passive rather than active ? We only have a small team of testers and developers numbering maybe 20, and would expect that the concurrent 'human' usage will be stable at a max of 10 users. So what happens if we set-up 'non-human' Users? Obviously they will never "log in" as an active session, so am I right to assume a Standard 10-user licence would still suffice?
