Assigning work to repair facilities

You use the Assignment view to assign upcoming work to repair facilities based on their availability.

About this task

The Assignment view displays the availability of your repair facilities. Unavailable time appears in the Gantt view as a shaded area on the resource table.

Procedure

  1. On the Assignment View tab, select the work record that you want to assign. An orange bar represents unassigned work. You can assign work by using one of the following methods:
    • Drag the work record to the resource that you want to assign it to in the resource chart.
    • Right-click on the bar representing the work that you want to assign. Select Available Location. In the Available Location window, select the labor or crew resource that you want to assign the work to. Click OK.
    When work is properly assigned, the bar that represents the assigned work is green. If you selected a resource that does not match the work requirements, the bar is red.
    If an appointment is required (in the work record application), an icon indicates that an appointment has not been made. Right-click on the assignment and choose Lock to set the appointment. Appointments that are locked cannot be rescheduled due to optimization or manual edits. To change the scheduled time manually, right-click on it and choose Unlock.
  2. Save the work list.
