Note:

This feature is part of the Certinia Early Adopter Program. This program is only available to a limited number of customers. For more information, contact your Customer Success Manager.

Before you complete the steps below, we recommend that you check the prerequisites for splitting assignments and swapping resources on assignments. For more information, see Splitting an Assignment to a New Resource Request and Swapping Resources from Assignments.

To reallocate assignments:

  1. From the org header, click to open the Agentforce panel. Wait for the agent to show a greeting message.
  2. Enter the name of the resource that you want to reallocate assignments for and the date range for which assignments needs to be reallocated. For example, enter <resource name> is leaving the company next month. Reallocate their work.. The agent shows a plan that includes the details of the resource's assignments for the date range provided in step 1 and the most suitable action, split to a new resource request or swap the resource, for each assignment.
  3. Review the plan details and ask the agent to proceed with the plan.
  4. For the first of the assignments listed in step 2, check the details and confirm the action.
  5. If you confirmed the split to a new resource request in step 4, enter a date to split the assignment. If the assignment is associated with expenses or timecards, ensure that the date is after the expense date or the timecard date range. The split date will be the start date of the resource request.
  6. Repeat step 4 onwards for each assignment.

When you split an assignment, a draft resource request is created. For information about how the fields on the resource request are populated, see Splitting an Assignment to a New Resource Request. On the assignment, the End Date and Scheduled Hours fields are updated.
