Assignment Dates

You can enter multiple date ranges on an assignment to specify that the resource is needed on the job in non-contiguous intervals. For each date range, you can specify different days per week, hours and minutes per day, start and end times, and project role.

New or modified assignment dates trigger changes to the resource's schedule, availability, and profile. You can change assignment dates based on the permissions that are associated with your user role. Based on project business unit options that you select during implementation, a resource's manager can approve or reject schedule changes that are made to the resource's assignment. In addition, the resource, resource manager, or project manager can receive an email notification when the resource's schedule changes.

The system validates that assignment schedules fall within the project schedule. You cannot save an assignment in a status of Assign or Reserve if the assignment start or end dates are outside of the project's date range.

If you use PeopleSoft Program Management:

• Assignment schedules are reflected on the Resource Detail page in the PeopleSoft Program Management system.

  You can click the assignment ID for approved assignments on the Resource Detail page to open assignments and view details.

• Resources can have only one assignment on a particular day for the same project. Resources can have multiple assignments for the same project, but the assignment schedule dates cannot overlap.
