View the Upcoming Generic Assignments Dashpart

Use the Upcoming Generic Assignments dashpart to see upcoming generic assignments that you need to assign to specific resources. This table dashpart displays on a separate dashboard tab that lists the resources currently available for a project. Record-level security is applied when dashparts are loaded.

To use this dashpart, you must have access to the Resource Planning application. Your administrator designs the dashparts and dashboards, arranges them on the hub form or tab, and assigns user roles. In this way, you can access any dashpart without affecting other dashparts, and see only those records to which you have access, based on your record-level security.
