Automate 'Apply Task Assignment' with Configurations

What's New

The Apply Task Assignment feature in the Resource Planning screen enables Resource Managers or Team Leads managing assignments to mirror people’s aggregate Task Assignment on a Project (the lower total row) to Project Assignment (the upper total row).

This feature, previously available in the user interface, can now be used in Configurations (except Workflow rules).

Benefits

Get a more accurate picture of Project assignments in the Capacity planning module, by applying task assignments to Projects. This is especially useful when not using staffing requests in your workflow.

How it Works

In the Set Actions window, a new Apply Task Assignment option is available.

           

NOTE

This customization must be created on the Project object.

           

This example shows a custom action that applies task assignments on the Project when the start date is before today, from the Project's start date to today. The custom action applies to all users assigned to project tasks. You cannot select specific users only.
