Assigning Resources to Multiple Activities

Perform these steps to assign resources to multiple activities at one time.

To assign resources to multiple activities:

On the Navigation Menu, expand Projects and click Activities.
On the Activities page, select the activities to which you want to assign resources.
1. Click Context and select Assign Resource.
2. In the Select Resource dialog box select one or more resources.
  Note Click Show Usage to show the usage chart for the selected resource and optionally change the Start and Finish fields to customize the visible portion of the usage chart. If you select more than one resource, the usage chart only shows usage for the first resource you selected.
3. Click Select.

Tip

To view all resources assigned to an activity, click the Assignments detail window.
When you assign a resource to an activity that does not have any resource assignments, the resource is identified as the primary resource. If you subsequently assign more resources to the same activity, you can change the primary resource assignment for the activity by selecting the Primary Resource option for one of the resources in the Assignments detail window. If the Primary Resource option is not displayed in the Assignments detail window, click Customize View to add the column to the window.
When you assign a resource to an activity, if that resource has a primary role, the assignment includes the resource's primary role.
