Reassign a Resource to Work Part-Time on a Task

If you don’t want to reschedule any of the tasks to which an overallocated resource is assigned, and yet you want to avoid removing the resource from any of the assigned tasks, there’s another way you can free up some time. You can assign the resource to work part-time on each of the tasks that occur during the overallocated period.

To reassign a resource to work part-time on a task

1. On the View Bar, click Gantt Chart .
2. In the Task Name field, select a task.
3. Click Assign Resources .
4. In the Name field, select the resource.
5. In the Units field, enter the percentage of time the resource is assigned to work on the task.
   For example, if you want the resource to work 25 percent of the time on the task, type 25%.
6. Click or press ENTER.
