Routing Requests to Another Staffer

Note: Users must have "Staff Request" permission to see the Resource Staffing screen, and a pool of resources from which to staff in order to fulfill staffing requests. See About Staffing Permissions and Creating Staffing Profiles for information about permissions.

The Resource Staffing screen supports the various actions taken by resource managers as they manage staffing requests, including fulfilling them, partially fulfilling them, declining them, or routing them to someone else to fulfill or manage.

You can route a staffing request to a different resource manager, group, or unit, depending on what is available in your Route To droplist. 

To re-route a request from the Resource/Staffing page
  1. Select the request and click its Details tab.
  2. Locate the Route To field and click the ellipsis to display the Route To dialog.
