Assigning resources to tasks is a great way to populate cost data. Additionally when schedules are imported from authoring software resources assignments are interpreted into our system. As a result understanding how to manage the resource assignments is useful even when creating resource in authoring software and importing them into Fuzor.

When a resource is selected in the Resources List, tasks with that resource assigned appear in the Resource Tasks List.

The Resources column in the gantt displays the primary resource assigned to the task. When selected the Task Resources menu is open. The task Resource menu allows the user to assign resources and control how much of each resource is added to the associated task.

The Add button opens a menu to list available resources to select from and add to the current task.

The Close button closes the window.

The Remove button removes the currently selected resource from the task.

Resources created using automatic Category resources are automatically assigned and displayed in both the Task Resources and the Resource Tasks Menus.
