Using the Project Manager Work Planner

The PSA Project Manager Work Planner is part of the Project Management workspace. An administrator can also add it to any Lightning app page or Lightning home page.

Viewing Resource Details

To view a resource's details:

  1. Do one of the following in the Project Manager Work Planner:
    • Select a resource and click Resource Details.
    • Double-click a resource.
  2. View the resource's details as described in Contact Card Lightning Component Overview.

When you open a workspace, for example the Project Management workspace, the Project Manager Work Planner defaults to Project View. To change the view to focus on resources rather than projects, click Project View.

Viewing Hover Details

When you hover over an assignment, project, or resource request in the Project Manager Work Planner, relevant details are displayed. If you want different fields to be displayed, contact your administrator.

Changing the Dates of Assignments and Resource Requests

To update the dates of assignments or resource requests from the Project Manager Work Planner:

  1. Drag the resource request or assignment to a new start date. Although schedules are preserved where possible, the end date might be recalculated to take account of non-working days.
  2. Click Save.
  3. [Optional] Hover over an assignment or resource request on the Project Manager Work Planner to view the updated start and end dates.
Tip:

If you drag an assignment or resource request and then change your mind, click Reload button to return to the last saved state.

Note: To update assignments and resource requests in the Project Manager Work Planner, your administrator must have assigned you the PSA - Edit Work Planner permission set.
