Assign to New Activity window
Use the Assign to New Activity window to add yourself as a resource for one or more activities. If you have a timesheet open, you can choose to automatically add the new assignment to the open timesheet.
- Select the project you want to assign yourself to.
To quickly find a project, you can search for it based on any of the listed fields: ID, name, or responsible manager.
Note: A project-level setting determines whether a project is listed so you can assign yourself to its activities. If you need to assign yourself to a project that is not listed, contact your project manager or P6 administrator.
- In the Search for Activities section, choose one of the following options, then specify your search criteria and choose Search (Alt+S).
Activities Assigned to Parent Resource
For the project you selected, this option lists all activities of the resource hierarchy element to which you are assigned in the project management database. The parent resource is generally the larger department or organization for which you work. For example, a salesperson might be assigned to an element of the resource hierarchy called Region 1 Sales. In this case, search would return all activities assigned to Region 1 Sales.
Activity ID
For the project you selected, this option returns the list of activities that meet the criteria you enter in the Search text field.
Note: You can use the asterisk (*) and percent symbol (%) wildcard characters in the search criteria. For example, to find all activities that begin with AB, type AB* or AB%. If you type only a wildcard character, the search finds all activities in the project.
- From the search results, select the activities you want to assign, using Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple activities.
To quickly find an activity, you can search for it based on any of the listed fields: ID, name, or primary resource.
- Choose Assign (Alt+A). Or, if you currently have a timesheet open, you can assign yourself to the activity and automatically add it to the open timesheet by choosing Assign and Add.
Search in the Project or Activity Results lists
- In any row, place focus in the column that corresponds to the field you want to search on.
- Press Ctrl+F.
- Specify the search criteria, then choose Find Next (Alt+N).
The first result is highlighted in the list. Pressing Find Next (Alt+N) cycles through the results, returning to the beginning after you have reached the last result.
