| Task resource assignments can be used to specify the resource(s) assigned to work on a task. Any assignments applied to summary tasks will be used by default for all children that don't have explicit assignments.
|
|
|
| You can specify resource assignments in the Active Task Schedule tasks view or through the Schedule Tab in the Task Information Form.
|
|
|
| Each resource assignment takes the following form:
|
| resource_name[optional assignment]
|
|
|
| where the resource name is the name of a defined resource and the optional assignment is a percentage value indicating the percentage of the resource available for the task. For example, JoeSmith[50%] indicates that Joe Smith is only available 50% for this task.
|
|
|
| By default, all resources without the optional assignment use a "Variable" assignment, which means that the resource works on tasks in order of priority devoting 100% of their available effort on top-priority tasks until completed, and are shared equally among tasks with the same priority.
|
|
|
| You can combine multiple assignments by separating them with commas: JoeSmith, JackRiley[45%]
|
|
|
| Task assignments are combined with the project level assignments. For example if a task assignment for Task A is JSmith[50%] and resource JSmith is already constrained to 50% availability at the project level, JSmith is only 25% available for Task A.
