Replace Assignment
This Document can be found in the following categories:
The Replace Assignment command is used to replace a skill or
named resource assignment with one or
more resources that have the required availability.
AVAILABILITY in the candidate list is a function of the TARGET
REQUIREMENT. It is the total unused capacity during periods when
there is demand for the replacement target up to a maximum of the
demand.
A candidate may have more availability but it is not relevant to
meeting the demand. The TARGET REQUIREMENT is a function of the
REPLACE option buttons; All DEMAND and SHORTFALL
The sheet is filtered to display the target resource and the
replacement(s) with the demand distributed per the checkbox
settings AND the Start and Periods specification (if any).
The values are highlighted in bold and the character "N" is placed
in the Delta column for the replacement(s) and "R" for the
target(s) to indicate that changes have been made to the
records.
WARNING:
Deleting a replaced Effort Forecast row deletes all
past and future values (if any) even if they are not part of the
current session download from the database.
The table below describes the behavior of the dialog for each to
the possible combinations of what to replace and how to replace
it.
