Use this activity when you quickly want to allocate a resource to
one or multiple work tasks and no resource demands have been
specified.
Prerequisites
In addition to the general prerequisites, listed in Maintenance
Resource Setup, Duration should be entered on the work task.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, work assignments will be created for the resources and the work task will be
considered allocated. Each work assignment will get an Allocated Start and Allocated Finish. The work
assignment will be assigned to a resource and its status will be set to Assigned.
If Adjust to Schedule option is selected, then the
Allocated Start and Allocated Finish are adjusted based on the working schedule of the resource.
The Allocated Start and Allocated Finish dates will be set from the Planned Start
and Planned Finish. If Duration is entered on the
Work Task it will be used as default value for Allocated Hours.
When using Allocate Resource to Multiple Tasks
and if no dates are set, the system date is used for Allocated Start.
