Assign Work Task

Explanation

Assign using Drag and Drop

The Hand cursor available on the selected unassigned Task can be used to drag and drop the Task into the Gantt area. Once the Task is brought closer to a resource, the tooltip available on the Gantt can be used to see on what timeframe the task will be allocated to.

Assign using the Assign Command  

The Assign command available on each unassigned Task can be used to allocate a resource for the demand, which will open up the Assign dialog. If there’s a suggested allocation available for the demand, it will be indicated and auto-filled in the dialog, and you can either accept the Dynamic Scheduling Engine (DSE) suggestion or do some manual changes to it. If there are no suggested allocations from DSE sent, you can manually select a Resource and set the Allocation time.   Task Dependency information and SLA date constraints are also visible in the dialog to support the manual allocation decision.   

Note: Once a task is assigned, it remains visible in the task selector (left panel) until the page is reloaded.
