If the plan is in auto-execution mode, the availability of actions depends on the plan and activity state. For more information, see Auto-Execution State and Available
Actions. |
Edit the resource assignment task, including status, the amount of work required to complete the task, and the resource units assigned for the task. Editing these attributes might affect the scheduling attributes defined for the associated activity. The Estimated Finish Date field will be disabled in MFO/ALAP activities. Only project manager or project owner can change the estimated finish date for ASAP/SNET activities in scheduling/not started or suspended plans. | |
Update the associated activity with the amount of work completed so far, including the status and estimated finish date. When you track work for a resource assignment task, you are simultaneously tracking the work completed for the associated plan activity. For more information, see Track Work. The Estimated Finish Date field will be disabled in MFO/ALAP activities. Only project manager or project owner can change the estimated finish date for ASAP/SNET activities in scheduling/not started or suspended plans. | |
Complete the assignment without manually entering work information. | |
Reassign the task to another resource. Work already tracked for the assignment is unaffected. |
Administrators might have modified the default tabs that are viewable to you. Additional tabs might appear depending on the solutions deployed at your site. |
% Work Complete | The percentage of work the resource has completed for this assignment. |
Activity Name | The activity associated with the assignment. |
Actual Start | The date and time when the resource first tracked work towards the assignment. |
Actual Finish | The date and time when the resource reported the assignment completed. |
Actual Work | The number of work hours the resource has tracked for this assignment. |
Cost | The calculated resource cost for the task. |
Estimated Finish | The date and time when the associated activity is scheduled to be completed. |
Remaining Work | The number of work hours the resource still has to complete for this assignment. |
Resource | The name of the resource. |
Risk Type | The probability set by the resource that the task can be completed by the due date. |
Risk Description | A description providing a reason for the risk designation. |
Estimated Start | The date and time at which the associated activity is scheduled to begin. |
Status | Select one of the following: • Green—Indicates that there are no risks or obstacles; ready to proceed. • Yellow—Indicates caution; check before proceeding. • Red—Indicates an alert of high risk; do not proceed. If the associated activity type is configured to automatically calculate the status, you cannot edit this field. The default behavior is to allow manual calculation. In this case, the status you set for the resource assignment determines the status of the associated activity. For more information, see Project Status. |
Status Description | A description providing a reason for the status designation. |
Units | The units assigned to the resource for this task. Resource units are the percentage of workday hours that the resource can devote to the activity. Resource Unit Percentage = Activity Work Hours/Daily Work Hours*100 For example, if you assign 50 units to a resource, the actual amount of time that resource can spend on project work depends on their calendar: • If the resource works a standard 8-hour workday, then that resource can work on the activity 4 hours per day, or 20 hours per week in a 5-day work week. • If the resource works a 24-hour workday, then that resource can work on the activity 12 hours per day, or 84 hours per week in a 7-day work week. Using resource units as a scheduling mechanism supports projects that include resources with unique work calendars. Calculating resource units as a percentage provides more visibility to project managers when a resource might be overextended. If the resource units exceed 100% for a particular resource, then the project manager knows that the activity schedule needs to be adjusted accordingly. For more information on how units are used when scheduling activities, see Activity Schedule Calculation. |
Work | The number of work hours required to complete this assignment. |
