Splitting Resource Assignments

During your planning, you might find that some resources become overloaded with work. One way to resolve overallocation of units to a resource is to assign some of its total units to another resource.

To split resource assignments:

  1. On the  Navigation Menu, expand  Resources and click Planning.
  2. For the overloaded resource, select  Context menu, select Split Resource Assignments.
  3. In the Split Resource Assignments dialog box
    1. Select a resource from the list.
    2. In the Percentage allocation to new Resource field, enter a percentage of the original resource's total units to re-assign.
    3. Click Assign.
