Adding a Role

A role defines a person’s function on a project (e.g., project manager, staff, etc.) and can be added using Account Settings.

 

Once added, you can associate a role with any person on your Schedule from the New Person dialog. Additionally, you can schedule a role as a functional placeholder until you schedule a person.

Note: This functionality is only available for Resource Managers, Administrators and Owners.
