Splitting work between people and shifts

You can split work into multiple assignments to complete the work as efficiently as possible. For example, if a job takes more time than anticipated, you can continue it into a second shift with another labor or crew resource.

Procedure

  1. In the resource chart of the Assignment view, right-click on the work record that you want to split.
  2. Split the work by either segment or shift. For example, if the work duration spans more than one work shift, you can split the work by shift. If you want to break the work up into smaller segments that can be assigned simultaneously, split the work into two or three segments.
  3. Assign each segment of the work.
    • Drag the work to the appropriate labor or crew resource.
    • Right-click on the bar representing the work that you want to assign. Select Available Labor. In the Available Labor window, select the labor or crew resource that you want to assign the work to. Click OK.
  4. Save the record.
    To merge the assignments in the future, right-click on any segment of the assignment and select Merge Split Assignments.
