Building Your Resource List with Outlook

You can quickly and accurately add resource names and e-mail addresses to your project plan by pulling them into your project plan from your Outlook Address Book or Contacts list.

Note

If you’re set up for enterprise project management using Office Project Professional 2007 and Office Project Server 2007, don’t use the Outlook Address Book or Contacts list to build your resource list. Use the enterprise resource pool instead.

To import resource names from Outlook into your project plan, follow these steps:

  1. In Microsoft Office Project 2007, open the project to which you want to add resources from Outlook.

  2. Click View, Resource Sheet. Select the row in which you want the new resources to start being added.

  3. Click Insert, New Resource From, Address Book. The Select Resources dialog box appears (see Figure 18-5). Under Address Book, select Outlook Address Book, Contacts, or any other folder where you might have the resources you need stored.

    Use the Select Resources dialog box to select resources from your e-mail address book.

  4. Select the names of resources you want to add to your project. Drag to select multiple adjacent resources or hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple nonadjacent resources.

  5. Click the Add button and then click OK.

    The selected resources are added to your project and listed in the Resource Sheet.
