Fields

Field	Type	Description
operation	operation	Operation loading the resource. This is a required field.
resource	resource	Resource being loaded. This is a required field.
skill	skill	Skill required of the resource. This field is optional.
quantity	double	Load factor of the resource. The default value is 1.0.
effective_start	dateTime	Date after which the resource load is valid. Before this date the planned quantity is always 0.
effective_end	dateTime	Date at which the resource load becomes invalid. After this date (and also at the exact date) the planned quantity is always 0.
priority	integer	Priority of the load, used in case of alternate load. The default is 1. Lower numbers indicate more preferred loads.
name	non-empty string	Optional name of the load. All loads with the same name are considered to be alternates of each other.
setup	non-empty string	Name of the required setup on the resource.
search	string	Defines the order of preference among the alternate loads. The valid choices are: PRIORITY Select the alternate with the lowest priority number. This is the default. MINCOST Select the alternate which gives the lowest cost. The cost includes the cost of all upstream operations, resources and buffers. MINPENALTY Select the alternate which gives the lowest penalty. The penalty includes the penalty of all penalties incurred in the upstream plan along the load. MINCOSTPENALTY Select the alternate which gives the lowest sum of the cost and penalty. The sum is computed for the complete upstream path.
