The scheduler .resources property requires this exact structure. See also:

http://api.daypilot.org/daypilot-scheduler-resources/

If your server returns JSON array that has items with a different structure you will need to transform the items before assigning it to the .resources property.

Example:

1. Your server returns

[
 { "personName": "John", personId: "2"}
]

2. The jQuery POST request could look like this:

$.post("get_resources.php", function(data) {
  var resources = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    var source = data[i];
    var item = {
      name: source.personName,
      id: source.personId
    };
    resources.push(item);
  }
  dp.resources = resources;
  dp.update();
});

3. In modern browsers (IE9+) you can use .map() instead:

$.post("get_resources.php", function(data) {
  dp.resources = data.map(function(source) { 
    return {
      name: source.personName,
      id: source.personId
    };
  });
  dp.update();
});
