Replace a Resource in One Step

You can replace a resource with someone on your resource list in one step. For example, you might find a more qualified person to perform a task you already assigned to someone else. Or, perhaps a piece of equipment you’ve assigned to a task breaks down. Rather than removing the assigned resource and then assigning another resource in a separate action, you can simply replace one resource with another.

To replace a resource with another resource

1. On the View Bar, click Gantt Chart .
2. In the Task Name field, select a task with a resource you want to replace.
3. Click Assign Resources .
4. In the Name field, select the resource you want to replace, and then click Replace.
5. In the Name field, select one or more resources to assign to the task, and then click OK.
