Procedure

You have different options to create assignments for resources in the planning board. Each method has particular advantages that you can use in your work as a resource planner.

Drag & Drop on Resource
  1. In the order worklist or item worklist, choose the item that you want to assign to the resource.

  2. Move this item to the planning board using drag & drop and carefully place it on the name of the resource.

    You can manage the dates that are copied to the assignment in the Response When Dragging & Dropping Demands to Resources in the user settings of the planning board.

Drag & Drop to the Planning Board
  1. In the order worklist or item worklist, choose the operation that you want to assign to the resource.

  2. Move the operation to the planning board using drag & drop and place it on the day and time at which you want to create the assignment.

    In this way, you choose the date of the assignment yourself and the duration is taken from the order.

  1. In the order worklist or item worklist, choose the item that you want to assign to a resource.

  2. In the planning board, press and hold the primary mouse button, and drag a frame within a resource row to the required time.
