Assigning a Role to a Resource
The set of roles you assign to a resource describes the resource's skill capabilities. These role assignments make it easy to assign resources to activities according to role. You can also assign roles to activities directly when you are unsure of the actual resources available to work on those activities. You can later replace the roles with the applicable resources.
To assign a role to a resource:
- Click
Resources. - On the Resources navigation bar, click
Administration. - On the Administration page, click the Resources tab.
- On the Resources tab:
- Click the resource.
- Click the Roles detail window.
- In the Roles detail window, click
Add (Insert). - In the Select Role dialog box:
- Choose a role and click Assign.
- Choose any additional roles for the resource and click Assign.
- Click Close.
- In the Roles detail window:
- To change the proficiency level for that role, double-click the Proficiency field and select a level.
- A resource can have many roles. The first role added is marked as the primary role. To change this, select the Primary Role field for the appropriate role.
- On the Resources tab, click
Save (Ctrl+S).
