Adding Roles to a Project
Roles can be added to a project by navigating to Projects > List > [select the desired project] > Roles.
Click the Add button if you are building the project from scratch.
The Copy button will allow you to copy over roles from an existing project.
All existing projects that have roles added will be available in the Copy Roles drop-down list.
- Saving a selection will copy all the roles from the selected project to the new project in edit mode
- All role names and standard allocations will be copied over
- Any role with a custom allocation % will update to a default of 100%
- All roles will inherit the project start and end dates
- All role notes will be cleared
Another option is Use Template. Role Templates are created by Administrators that will allow a group of specific roles to be added to a project.
If a role needs to be duplicated, click the Copy Role button. This will duplicate the role including:
- Role Name
- Role Note
- Quick Option selection
- Start Date
- End Date
- Allocation %
Role Status Filters
You can condense the roles displayed on projects to see upcoming, current, or past roles with the Role Status Filter. This will allow you to reduce the noise that can come along with large projects and focus on applicable project roles.
Place a Person in a Role
Once roles have been added to a project, the Place a Person tool will help ensure the best people are selected for the role. This can be managed from the Projects List.
