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 the activities. You can later replace the roles with the applicable resources.
To assign a role to a resource from the Roles tab:
- Click Resources.
- On the Resources navigation bar, click Administration.
- On the Administration page, click the Roles tab.
- On the Roles tab:
- Click the name of the role.
- Click the Resources detail window.
- In the Resources detail window, click Assign....
- In the Select Resource dialog box, choose a resource and click Select.
- In the Resources detail window:
- To change the proficiency level for that resource, double-click the Proficiency field and select a level.
- If this is the primary role for the resource, select the Primary Role option for the resource.
- Click Save .
