Resource and Operation Assignments

Assign Resources to an Operation

You can manage "resource to operation" assignments using the Assignment Manager command.

  1. Click Assignment Manager .
  2. Select an operation in the tree.
    The Assignment Manager panel appears.
  3. Select the Resource to Operation Assignment tab.
    The assigned and assignable resources are listed for the selected operation.

    All the resources that are listed are derived from the Resource-System scope definition.

    The Assigned Resources area lists the resources that are already assigned to the selected operation. In the example above, one resource is already assigned to the selected operation.

    In the Assignable Resources area:

    • the tab lists the working resources that are not assigned. One or more working resources can be assigned to the operation.
    • the tab lists the nonworking resources that are not assigned. One or more nonworking resources can be assigned to the operation.

  4. You can manage the assignments as follows:
    • Assign a resource: in the tab, when you click a resource from the Assignable Resources list, you can assign it to the operation by clicking Assign Selected Resources . The item is added to the Assigned Resources list.
      Note: When you assign a resource clicked from the tab, it creates a new operation with an implement link to the resource at the targeted position. The previously existing operation remains in the MBOM structure but its implement link to the resource is removed.
    • Unassign a resource: in the tab, when you click a resource from the Assigned Resources list, you can unassign it from the operation by clicking Unassign Selected Resources . The item is added to the Assignable Resources list.
    • Filter attribute content: click Filter to filter the content of one or several attribute columns. A blank box appears in which you can specify the data to filter. Then, if you select a column header, the entire column is filtered. To deactivate the filter(s):
      • On one column: click Filter again
      • On all columns: click Clear All Filters.
    • Customize: you can customize attribute columns by clicking Attributes Customization .
  5. Close the Assignment Manager panel to save any modifications made to the assignments.
