Assigning resources to tasks

1. Go to Project View.
2. Select the task to which you want to assign the resource.
3. Click in the Resource field associated with the task.
4. Select a resource from the drop-down list. If you type in a new resource name, it will be added to the list of resources in the resource view. When you add a new resource in this manner, it will be assigned at 100% effort for work resource.
   

To assign resources at less than 100% or if want to assign material resource, you must go to the Resources tab in the Task Information dialog box.

• Multiple resources can be assigned to a particular task.
