What is the difference between resources and users?
Updated over 10 months ago

Resources are plannable employees, machines or cells that you link to a plan board. You usually use resources in vPlan not only for assigning tasks, but also for mapping your plannable capacity. A resource therefore has a schedule.
​
Users are people who have a login account for vPlan. In addition to planners, these could also be system administrators, sales employees or external parties.
​
However, a resource can also be a user. If you want your plannable resources (e.g. employees) to also carry out the planning in vPlan, you give them a login account for vPlan.
​
You can link a login account to a resource, so that vPlan knows that the user is also a plannable resource. You can read how you can link this in the application in this article: How do you link a resource to a user?
​

Note

vPlan's pricing model is based on resources linked to a planning board. Your subscription is therefore not based on the number of users, as is the case with many other web applications.
