Delete a Resource Assignment in Resource View

If you assign work on a project to a resource and later want to remove that assignment, you can do that in the Resource View grid. You can also delete all lower-level assignments under a parent element in the plan work breakdown structure (WBS).

You can also delete resource assignments in the Project View grid or on the Labor tab of the Plan form in the Projects hub.

If an assignment has job-to-date (JTD) hours or has been saved as part of the baseline plan, you cannot delete that assignment. In those cases, however, you can still use the procedure below to delete all planned hours for the assignment.

To delete a resource's work assignments in Resource View:

1. In the Navigation pane, select Resource Management > Resource View.
2. If necessary, use a search to display, in the grid, the resource for whom you want to remove an assignment.
3. Do one of the following:
   • If you are deleting a single assignment, expand the plan structure until the assignment is visible.
   • If you are deleting all assignments for lower-level WBS elements under a parent WBS element, expand the plan structure until the parent element is visible.
4. Do one of the following:
   • If you are deleting a single assignment, hover over that assignment row and click at the end of the row.
   • If you are deleting all assignments for lower-level WBS elements under a parent WBS element, hover over the parent element row and click at the end of the row.
5. Click Delete.
6. When the confirmation message displays, click Delete again.
