Reassign Underallocated Resources

While some resources may be overallocated during a certain time period, others may be underallocated. If any qualified underallocated resources are available when some tasks have overallocated resources, consider assigning the underallocated resources to those tasks. This would reduce the amount of time overallocated resources spend on the tasks and might even out the workload.

To reassign work to an underallocated resource

To find underallocated resources, display the Resource Usage view.

On the View Bar, click Gantt Chart .
In the Task Name field, select a task.
Click Assign Resources .
In the Name field, select the underallocated resource.
In the Units field, type a new number so the resource is no longer underallocated.
Click or press ENTER.
In the Name field, select the overallocated resource.
In the Units field, enter the new percentage of time the resource is available to work on the task.
To take the overallocated resource off this task completely, click Remove.
