| SELECT and LEVEL

This grid displays the WBS hierarchy, along with any existing resource assignments. Expand the hierarchy to display the WBS elements for which you want to assign work to the resources, and select the check box next to each of those elements. (Either WBS element names or both names and IDs display, depending on whether
Show WBS Numbers is selected in the Column Settings & Selections dialog box for Resource View.)
You can only assign resources to the lowest-level WBS elements in each branch of the WBS. A check box displays next to those elements. You can also expand lowest-level elements to display any resources that are already assigned to them.
The following do not display as part of the WBS hierarchy:
- Inactive WBS elements at any level of the hierarchy.
- Active "parent" elements that have no active "child" elements.
- Active "child" elements whose "parent" element is inactive.

Assign button.
After you click
