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
- In the resource chart of the Assignment view, right-click
on the work record that you want to split.
- 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.
- 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.
- Save the record.
To merge the assignments
in the future, right-click on any segment of the assignment and select Merge
Split Assignments.
