Resource Assignment Mapping

OpenAir maps Microsoft Project resource assignments using the following guidelines:

• A Microsoft Project resource name maps to an OpenAir user name. You can make changes to this mapping on the OpenAir Import Settings window before you push a project to OpenAir. Refer to Push Microsoft Project file to a New Project in OpenAir.

• Each task and its duration in a Microsoft Project file convert to a task and task duration in OpenAir. The tasks and planned hours, as well as other pertinent task information, display. To view, select Projects and select a project. Go to Phases/Tasks: Outline information.

• The percentage allocation for each user on a task in Microsoft Project converts to the same percentage assignment for that task in OpenAir. To view, select Projects and select a project. Go to Phases/Tasks: Outline information.

• A user's schedule is adhered to when pushing Microsoft Project tasks. Task duration is distributed according to the OpenAir user's schedule. To view a user's schedule, users with required role privileges navigate to user information. Go to Administration > Global Settings > Users and select a User ID. Click Schedule.

• If your OpenAir company settings allow assignment of only booked users, refer to Push Microsoft Project File to a Project in OpenAir With Booked Users. To view or edit these settings in OpenAir, users with required role privileges navigate settings for Resources. If using the new UI, select Administration > Application Settings > Projects > Other settings. Locate the option selected for Users available for assignment to a project: Booked users, Booked users or all users if none are booked, or All users.
