Resourcing Administrators, Portfolio Editors, Project Editors and People Schedulers can assign people to projects. When you add or change assignments on the Schedule, the Project Page automatically reflects the changes.
If you're a Project Editor you can only assign people to projects you own.
Assignment allocation can be a percentage of time, hours per day, or total hours. You can use fixed hours or flexible hours.
Flexible hours allow you to adjust the assignment when you change the project’s length. For example, changing a person’s assignment from 50% for 6 weeks to 10 weeks requires them to work on the project for longer.
Fixed total hours keep the same number of assigned hours regardless of the assignment duration. For example, a person who was assigned to work for 100 hours on a project for 3 weeks will still be assigned 100 total hours if the project is extended to 6 weeks.
You can switch between the allocation types or to modify the plan as needed. Any edits to the Schedule automatically update the Project Page and suggested time entries on the Personal Page.
