Role Replacement Behavior

Consider the following behavior when replacing roles:

When a role is fully decremented by replacement with one named resource, the following behaviors are seen:

• The role's allocation is decremented to zero and the role is removed from the team list.
• All assignments and ETC that were assigned to the role are transferred to the named resource.
• The role's allocation is added to the named resource's allocation. In this case, it is possible to overallocate the named resource (that is allocate at greater than 100%).

When a role is partially replaced by one or more named resources, the following behaviors are seen:

• The role's allocation is decremented by the amount being replaced and the role remains on the team list.
• No transfer of assignments is made to the named resources.
• The amount of the replaced role allocation is added to the named resource's allocations.

When a role has assignments with ETC and is replaced so that the allocation is zero, the role remains on the team list. You should manually re-assign the task to the appropriate named resources and then manually remove the role from the team list.
