Create Single Assignment

To create a single assignment, click Create Assignment. Create Assignment Pn Select the Role and set the Utilization Percentage. In the example below, we set the utilization to 100%. This means that 100% of the employee’s time will be allocated to this project. So for example, all hours in a 40 hour work week would go to this job. If the job requires 50% of their time, then set it to 50%. If 25% of their time, then 25%, etc. You can also go back and update this information later if you anticipate this changing. Next, select the Start and End dates. Here, you have the following date options:
  • Sync with Construction Start/End date (the date construction is set to start/end)
  • Specific Date (the date the assignment is expected to start/end)
  • Duration (the allotted number of days the assignment will be active)
Wf Assignment Pn If you select the Specific Date option for Assignment Start Date, you can checkmark “Automatically adjust this date when the Construction Start Date changes.” If this option is selected and the project’s start date changes, Buildr will automatically update the assignment’s start date. For example, if the project start date was pushed back 30 days, the assignment start date will also be pushed back 30 days. Once you have entered the assignment information, click Save. You will see the new assignment on the project’s workforce gantt chart and list view of all assignments. Super Pn You can assign an employee directly from this view by clicking Assign Employee.
