Designing process structure > Creating operations and activities

Assign resources to activities

As you create operations in your process plan, you create individual activities to be executed as part of the operation. If any of the activities require that a resource be used during its execution, assign the resource to the activity.

Procedure

Expand the process hierarchy in the structure view and select an operation.
Choose Open with→Activities view.
Select an activity.
Click on the Activities view toolbar. The Activity Assignments dialog box is displayed. Only resources previously assigned to the operation to which this activity belongs are listed. You can use one of the resources already assigned to the operation, or assign a new resource from the Classification application.
Select the resource using one of the following:

To assign a resource already used in the top-level operation:

Close the Activity Assignments dialog box.

To assign a resource from the Classification application:

Click the Assign New Resource From Library button in the Activity Assignments dialog box. The Classification Search Dialog is displayed.

Expand the classification tree if it is compressed.

Search the various classes and subclasses to locate and assign the appropriate resource to the activity.

If necessary, change the occurrence type of the resource by selecting from the Occurrence Type list. Your administrator can modify the occurrence types that are displayed by default in the MEAssignCustomizedOccurrenceType preference.
