Action

Select the labor schedule rows to which you want to apply this action and select one of these available actions:

    The to Employee ID field will appear.

    Select an employee ID to assign to the selected rows. This action updates the Employee ID field on the Assignments tab of the workbench for each selected row.

  • Change Status

    A field appears in which you can select a user-defined task status that is set up to match an internal task status. When you select a task status from the list to change the task status for selected rows, the system verifies whether the change is valid. Values are:

    • Open

    • Awaiting Schedule

    • Hold

    • Scheduled

    • Work in Progress

    • Canceled

    • Complete

    • Closed

    Use the Change Status page to notify the scheduler of the status change.

    Note: Selecting a task status displays the Change Status page for the selected rows. If you selected multiple rows for the same task, only one row representing all of these rows will appear on the Change Status page. When you change the status of this row, the system changes the status of all of the rows associated with the task, whether you selected them or not. When you select OK, you are returned to the Labor Assignment Workbench.

If you change the schedule date or hours for which an assignment is not yet made, then the grid does not show the change.
