We can further define your resources by organizing them into groups and teams and assigning various roles to them.
We can import various types of resources, such as employees, suppliers, parties, or partners, which are created in other Oracle applications into Resource Manager. Resource Manager can be accessed from Forms and HTML depending on use and who is using it.
