Project Online resource engagement is smoothed after being reassigned
JennyT289 Rather than adding a new resource to the task can you use the "replace" function to replace the generic resource with the named resource? This will copy all the details and just replace then generic name with the specific name
On the desktop version the replace function is under the resource tab / assign resources; simply select the (generic) resource, click replace and chose the replacement (specific) resource.
Thanks for your reply but that doesn't solve my problem. I'm talking about resource engagements in the project web app rather than tasks in a plan.
In the web app when a resource lead wants to reassign an engagement to a named resource rather than a generic resource you select the current name and change it to the chosen resource. This is when the proposed work is smoothed and over-booked. There is no replace option in the web app. Our resource leads don't use the desktop tool, only the web app for managing resources and resource engagements.
- Ah sorry, missed the fact that you're on Project for the web.
