Overview: Resources and Assignments View

Concept

The Resources and Assignments view in Work and Assignments shows the named resource assignments for a project (Figure 1), requests, and utilization (reserves, allocations, and standard activities). You can see what parts of the project resources are assigned to, how much they are utilized, and how much time they are scheduled for.

From the Resources and Assignments view, you can approve resource requests and modify assignment details on this screen.

Hover over a utilization bar to see summarized information for the resource or assignment.

1. Allocations: An allocation displays the work structure line of the allocation and its status, pending effort, and utilization. The utilization is further broken down on the right side of the screen. Allocations display the  or  icon.
2. Authorizations: Authorizations display the  icon.
3. Reserves: Reserves display the  or  icon as well as the status, pending effort, utilization, and utilization breakdown.

Tip

Select  next to any resource to substitute one resource for another or view the Resource View for the resource, if you have appropriate grants (Figure 2).

For allocations and reserves, you can use the Requirement Name and Requirement ID columns to see the requirement they originated from.
