The Pools tab enables you to view all the resources that are a member of a pool and to set the selection priority for a pool.  For the selected pool, DMS lists the resources that are not a member of the pool in the Resources list box and resources that are a member in in the Resources in Pool by Priority list box.

The selection priority defines which resources the schedule will choose first from a pool.  The order of resources in the list box Resources in Pool by Priority is the order in which the schedule will make selections from the pool.  In the example below, the schedule will select the "Mill 1" resource first, then the "Mill 2", "Mill 3" and finally the "Mill 4" resource last.  You can change the priority of the selection by dragging resources up or down in the Resources in Pool by Priority list box.  Whether or not a resource is level loaded depends on how the Pool is defined in Resource Pools.
