'Adjust resources' dialog box

In this dialog box, you can specify how the program is to adjust resources whose numbers or definitions in the source document differ from those in the destination document. There are two ways: you can leave the resource's number or its appearance as it is. The settings you make in this dialog box always apply to all the resources.

You can also create new resources. Please note that this requires the relevant privileges.

Retain resource numbers of element

With this setting, the resource's number is retained. Allplan checks whether there is a resource with the same number.

• If this is so, the existing resource is used. This may alter the appearance (if the definitions differ).
• If this is not so, the result depends on the setting for Create missing resources:
  • Create missing resources enabled: the program creates a new resource with the definition and number of the resource inserted.
  • Create missing resources disabled: a substitute is displayed.

Adjust different resource numbers of element

With this setting, the program attempts to retain the definition and appearance of the resource (if possible). Allplan checks whether there is a resource with the same definition:

• If this is so, this resource is used. If the resource is saved under a different number, the number of the resource you inserted is changed.
• If this is not so, the result depends on the setting for Create new resources:
  • Create new resources enabled: the program creates a new resource with the definition of the resource inserted. This new resource is given the number of the resource inserted or, if this number has already been assigned, the next available number. If all the resource numbers have already been assigned, the most similar resource will be used.
  • Create new resources disabled: the resource is inserted with its number. If there is a resource with the same number, the appearance of the inserted resource will change.

Note: Discard only undoes the changes you make to the settings in the dialog box. You cannot undo the insertion itself.
