| Resource and WBS path
|
If you display this dialog box from a resource row, the name of the resource and the path through the
project work breakdown structure (WBS) to the level of the resource displays in the upper-left corner of the dialog box.
If you display this dialog box from a WBS row, the path through the
project WBS to the level of that WBS element displays in the upper-left corner of the dialog box.
|
| Shift
|
To change the date range but keep the same number of working days between the start and end date and keep the same distribution of planned labor hours, select this option.
If some working days have no planned hours in the current schedule, the corresponding working days in the new schedule will have no hours.
|
| Change Duration
|
To lengthen or shorten the assignment date range or plan date range, select this option.
|
| Distribute Labor Hours and Amounts Evenly, or Distribute Evenly
|
If you select
Change Duration, select this option to redistribute the affected planned labor hours and amounts evenly over the new date range.
If you are rescheduling plan dates and a labor resource assignment for a rescheduled WBS element has a resource assignment with a start date earlier than the new plan start date or an end date later than the new plan end date, that assignment date is adjusted to match the plan start date or the plan end date, whichever applies. Only labor resource assignment rows for which the assignment dates are changed in this way have their hours redistributed.
|
| Don't Redistribute Labor Hours and Amounts, or Don't Redistribute
|
If you select
Change Duration, select this option to keep the current distribution of planned labor hours.
Deltek verifies that all of the planned hours fall within the new date range. If some do not, you must either select different dates or select a different distribution option.
|
| From This Assignment/Plan Date Range
|
These fields display the current assignment start and end dates or plan start and end dates, depending on the type of row selected in the planning grid.
If this dialog box displays because you changed a start or end date in the planning grid or if you selected the
Change Duration option, you cannot change these dates. However, if you clicked
 to display this dialog box and you selected
Shift, you can do either of the following:
- Leave these dates unchanged. The entire date range will be rescheduled.
- Change one or both of these dates. Only that part of the original date range will be rescheduled. The dates you select cannot be outside of the original date range.
|
| To This Assignment/Plan Date Range
|
Enter the new assignment date range or plan date range for the assignment or WBS row.
If you selected the
Shift option, you select either a new start date or a new end date, and
Deltek determines the other date needed to keep the same number of working days in the range. (If you entered a new start or end date in the planning grid before you displayed this dialog box, that date displays by default, and
Deltek calculates the other date. If you did not enter one of the dates in the planning grid before you displayed this dialog box, you enter the new start date, and
Deltek calculates the end date.)
If you selected the
Change Duration option, you select both the start date and end date for the range. If a labor resource assignment for the WBS element has an assignment start date earlier than the new plan start date or an assignment end date later than the new plan end date, that assignment date is adjusted to match the new plan date. Only labor resource assignment rows for which the assignment dates are changed have their hours redistributed.
|
| Reschedule
|
To complete the rescheduling and close the dialog box, click
Reschedule. When the process finishes, a completion message displays at the top of the page.
If you are rescheduling assignment dates,
Deltek verifies that new assignment date ranges are completely within the applicable plan date ranges. If not, a message displays asking if you want to update the plan dates to include the new assignment date ranges.
Deltek then does the following:
- Changes the affected plan or assignment dates.
- Redistributes planned hours. If hours are moved to a date range in which the resource already has planned hours, the rescheduled hours are distributed proportionally across that date range based on the distribution of the preexisting planned hours.
- Updates values displayed in all planning grids to reflect the new schedule.
