Hi
I created a resource pool last week to be utilised by 4 projects but when copying the resource pool to the first project, it will not copy all the fields or columns that I have created in the pool. e.g it copies the names, groups, Std Rate but not the region, departments etc. basically it only copies the generic MSP fields/columns and not the ones that I have added included in the pool.
Does anyone know why?

You create the pool as a separate file, then in the individual projects Tools, Resource Sharing to tell each of the projects to get their resources from the pool.
If there are custom fields in the resource sheet of the pool, they will be available in the projects provided that you use Tools, Organiser to get the fields from the pool.
This is necessary even if you have a sub-project inserted in a master project.
