The problem with trying to separate your staff resources from client resources is that once sharing is turned on and resources are assigned from both the pool and locally, those resources become part of the linked structure. That is, a non-pool resource will appear on the Resource Sheet of the pool file and vice versa.
So the resources are separate but it won't look that way. What exactly do you mean by, "each project will only contain information from itself"?
I did come up with a method to more readily identify (separately) whether an assigned resource is coming from the pool file or from the local project file and that is by adding a custom Text field (e.g. Text1) to the Resource Sheet of each file. Here's what the Resource Sheet of the pool file might look like:
In the individual Project file, with resources assigned from both the pool and local file, this is what the Resource Usage view might look like:
Then by grouping, the totals for Staff and client resources can be shown:
Hope this helps.
