User Rights

To edit allocations in the Team Planner, you need to be in a user group with the following rights:

• You need to have edit rights for the currently selected scenario or the Edit Plan of Record right.
• Either the right Resource Managers Can Always Edit Allocations of Their Own Roles and Resources, or under Edit Allocations, at least the option Role Allocations.

Editing Allocations

The Team Planner offers many options to quickly edit existing allocations. Besides manually editing allocation values, there are also special functions to edit allocations. For more information on this, see the article on mouse and keyboard shortcuts.

If a padlock icon is displayed when you select a project, this indicates the project is not part of the current portfolio and its allocation segments cannot be edited.

Editing Part of an Allocation (Time Grid Mode)

To edit single allocation values in cells, click the cell and enter the new value. With our keyboard shortcuts, you can select and edit multiple cells at once, like with copying or overwriting cells.

Additionally, you can open the context menu, which offers you further editing-functionality. Select one or more cells and click the three dots in the blue bubble above the selected cells. There you will find the following options:

• Add Remaining Capacity: The remaining available capacity of the resource or role will be added to the selected cells.
• Allocate in Percentage: The selected allocation cells will be filled with the specified percentage of the role or resource's capacity. Existing values will be overwritten.
• Replace Resource (only for resources): All of the selected values will be allocated to the desired resource, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current resource. You can replace the entire allocation, only the overallocation or a percentage of the allocation.
  • Once you select Replace Resource, you will be able to unstaff the entire allocation back to the role, only the overallocation or a percentage of the allocation. All of the selected values will be allocated to the role, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current resource. Learn more in the article Team Planner - Reassigning Resource Allocations.

Editing an Allocation Segment (Compact Mode)

When you select a project beneath a role or resource in Compact Mode, and click on the three dots next to the project name, you will find the following options to edit the entire allocation segment:

• Staff Role (only for roles): Open a new view where you can staff available resources to role-level allocations. Learn more in the article Staff Role.
• Replace Role (only for roles): All of the selected values will be allocated to the desired role, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current role.
• Replace Resource (only for resources): All of the selected values will be allocated to the desired resource, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current resource. You can replace the entire allocation or a percentage of the allocation.
  • Once you select Replace Resource, you will be able to unstaff the entire allocation back to the role, only the overallocation or a percentage of the allocation. All of the selected values will be allocated to the role, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current resource. Learn more in the article Team Planner - Reassigning Resource Allocations.
• Delete Allocation Segment: Set the allocation value to 0; doing this means that the allocation segment will not be shown in Compact Mode. In other views, the allocation remains visible.
• Open Project: Open the project's details.

Editing an Entire Allocation (Time Grid Mode)

In Time Grid Mode, you can edit a role or resource's entire allocation. Click the three dots next to the name of the project to open the context menu. There you will find the following actions:

• Staff Role (only for roles): Open a new view where you can staff available resources to role-level allocations. Learn more in the article Staff Role.
• Replace Role (only for roles): All of the selected values will be allocated to the desired role, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current role.
• Replace Resource (only for resources): All values will be allocated to the desired resource, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current resource. Learn more in the article Team Planner - Reassigning Resource Allocations. You can replace the entire allocation, only the overallocation or a percentage of the allocation.
  • Once you select Replace Resource, you will be able to unstaff the allocation back to the role. All of the selected values will be allocated to the role, and the existing allocation will be deleted from the current resource. Learn more in the article Team Planner - Reassigning Resource Allocations.
• Change Project Role (only for resources): The resource will remain allocated to the project, but in the selected role. 
• Remove from Project: All of this role or resource's allocations will be deleted from this project.
• Open Project: Open the project's details.

Adding Allocations (Time Grid Mode)

To add a new project allocation for a role or resource, move your cursor over the role or resource and click the plus icon:

Next, enter the project's name or project key into the search field and confirm with ENTER:

A new row below the role or resource will be added with the project's name. 

Now, enter the allocation value in the cell or cells and confirm with ENTER. To add a resource's or a role's remaining capacity in one or more cells, select the desired cells and move your mouse above the selected region. Next, click the three dots to open the context menu. Then, click Add Remaining Capacity.

Deleting Allocations
