Resources

The Resource variables should contain values that indicate the amount of resource that is needed for a particular activity. For consumable resources, this value represents the amount of resource needed per unit of duration; for replenishable resources, it indicates the amount of resource that must be available throughout the duration of the activity. These variables must be numeric.

Work Rate

The Work Rate variable should contain values that indicate the total amount of work (time) required by one unit of a resource for a particular activity. This variable can be used to drive the activity duration for each resource required by the activity using the resource rate specified in the corresponding Resource variable.
