Searching for resources at the last minute

  2. In the Search Criteria pane, enter search filters as needed, including the maximum number of miles from the job to the resource’s home address, then click Search (or press Alt + S).
  3. Right-click on the grid, then choose Check All to select all of the displayed resources at once.
  4. Right-click on the grid, then choose Send Email to send an email blast to all of the resources selected.
  5. Right-click on the grid, then choose Send SMS to send a text message blast to all of the resources selected.
