The Place a Person tool is available to help ensure the best people are selected for a role and project. Bridgit Bench predicts the best person to fill a role based on past project experience.
Place a Person
- Select the requested project and scroll to the role that needs to be filled.
- Click on Place a person in the unfilled role to open the Place a Person window.
- From the Project Gantt view, the unfilled role appears as a blank segment.
- From the Project List view, the unfilled role appears under the Roles tab.
- From the Project Gantt view, the unfilled role appears as a blank segment.
- Select the best person for a role. Use the search bar or apply additional filters if the required person doesn't appear.
- An Availability message appears if the person doesn't have full availability. Through this window, you can select how to proceed with allocation.
- Click Save to confirm.
Some people might have an orange circle beside their Time Availability, which indicates that a person does not have the required allocation % available for the role. People with no potential allocation availability conflicts are assigned a green circle.
