Resources List
The Resources List is located by default in the central part of the VIP Team To Do List window under the Resources tab. It displays the list of available team members to whom the existing tasks can be assigned.
When you are it this view, you can create descriptions for new team members, fully control the existing team members and delete the retired ones. The above commands are accessible from the Resources Toolbar and from the context menu (right-click on the list item).

The resource control list consists of an unlimited number of rows (each row is one task) and many columns (Resource's Name, E-Mail, Address, Phone, Job Title, File Name). |

You can easily sort the columns using the Field Chooser. To open the Field Chooser window just make a right mouse-click on a column header and choose the apropriate item from the menu. You can also open the Field Chooser using View-Columns... item from the main menu. |

To add or remove a column use the Drag&Drop method.
To add a column drag the choosed column from the Customization window and place it where you need in the headers line.
To remove a column just drag it to the Customization window. |
Each team member is described by a number of properties allowing to identify him in the team and make the resource unique.

The E-Mail field (required)
The existing e-mail address of the team member. The address in this field will be used for sending the effective list of assigned tasks (the To Do List) and for notifying about the assigned tasks.
The Address field

Commands Expand All, Collapse All and AutoExpand All.
These commands are designed for a fast tree management. "Expand All" and "Collapse All" expand and collapse all tree branches correspondingly.
