Add Resources to Tasks

Use the Resources tab of the Task Properties dialog box to make and modify task assignments. You can also assign resources to tasks from a view that displays the resource detail pane. Use this tab to apply properties to more than one task (see Multiple Select Property Notes) from this tab.

Note: When you assign a resource to a key task, the Start and Finish date are determined by the resource's ETC.

   • To select a contiguous range of resources, press the Shift key on your keyboard and click a range of resources.
   • To select a non-contiguous range of resource, press the Ctrl key and individually click resources.

   The selected resource is assigned to the task and appears in the Assigned Resources grid.
