Let me double-check: You want to enable a custom entity for URS and the Schedule Board, correct (not RSO)? What have you configured to update the custom entity status? For work orders this logic is pre-configured, for your own entity you need to implement this yourselves. And re #2, this is again the Schedule Board: You need the create a view based on Resource Requirement plus the additional fields from your custom entity. Then you go to the board's settings, scroll down to "Requirements Panels" and add your new view.
