Assign and Budget Resources

You can assign either named or generic resources at any level of a plan's WBS. In Project Planning, you use the Labor tab to assign resources.

When you assign an employee to a plan element, Vision creates a corresponding activity of type "Task" in the Calendar/Activities application. The activity's subject then corresponds to the parent task information. For example, if the task structure is:

Construction (Project)

--Design Meeting (Phase)

the task subject in Vision Calendar/Activities will follow the same structure and display as: Construction/ Design Meeting.

To assign and budget resources, you must first perform a resource search to locate the named or generic resources you wish to assign. See Resource Search Overview for additional information.
