Assigning resources and costs in the assignment view

You can assign resource and cost centres within the assignment view by doing any of the following:

Dragging the resource, cost centre or allocation group from the tree in a task's assignment view and dropping it onto the assignment grid or onto the task in the bar chart.
Right-clicking an empty area of the assignment grid in the assignment view, selecting Assign Permanent Resource, Assign Consumable Resource, Assign Allocation Group or Assign Cost, then using the submenus to select the particular resource, cost centre or allocation group that you want to assign.
Cutting or copying a resource or cost allocation from the assignment view on one task and pasting it into the assignment view on another task.
Right-clicking on a resource, allocation group or cost centre in the tree of the assignment view and selecting Copy, then selecting a task in the bar chart and on the Home tab, in the Clipboard group, clicking the Paste dropdown and selecting Paste. If more than one task is selected in the bar chart, the allocation is pasted onto all of them.
Selecting the resource or cost centre in the tree view, then clicking in the assignment view's toolbar.

You can configure Asta Powerproject to check the availability of a resource - permanent or consumable - each time you assign a resource to a task. Configuring Asta Powerproject to check resource availability as and when you assign resources helps you to avoid over-allocating resources by assigning them to too many tasks at the same time.
