Display the Add Assignments Dialog Box

Display the Add Assignments dialog box from a resource row.

  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 assign work on a project.
  3. Hover over the resource row in the grid to display and click in the Resource/Level column to display the Add Assignments dialog box. (The does not display if the resource is inactive or terminated. You can only add assignments for active resources.)

    Alternative: If the resource already has at least one assignment for the project, you can expand the plan rows for the project in the Resource View grid, navigate to a lower level of the structure, and then click on a work breakdown structure (WBS) row. In the Add Assignments dialog box, only the branch of the plan structure that you selected displays, making it easier to locate the element for which you want to make the assignment.
