Use cases
REST provides reusable resource configuration templates that standardise project staffing plans. Rather than manually adding individual resources (RES) to each project, a template defines a standard set of resources that can be applied in bulk. The entity has a simple left panel (20% width) with name, description, and active status, while the majority of the view (80% width) is occupied by the resourcetemplateeditor custom row type which provides a specialised interface for defining the resource set.
The status field uses numberWorkaround for numeric boolean matching (1=Active, 0=Inactive). Templates support consistency across similar projects - for example, a 'Standard IT Project' template might include roles like Project Manager, Business Analyst, Developer, and Tester with their default day rates and spend types.
