Mass Resourcing – Resource Request Staffer	Resource Request Staffer streamlines high-volume staffing by automating the matching, shortlisting, holding, and assigning of resources—supporting up to 1,000 resource requests at once. Resource managers can build a prioritized list of resource requests using filters to define selection criteria and sorting to set priority. The matching process mirrors that of individual requests and can be configured via the Match Settings panel, including support for custom fields.Requests are processed in priority order, with the system identifying the most suitable resource for each—ensuring no resource is double-booked. Once matching is complete, managers can bulk shortlist, hold, or assign matched resources, making final allocation faster, more accurate, and less prone to bias.	Release notes
