[Managing Assignments](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#managing-assignments) # Reallocating an Assignment ## As your project progresses, your available resources could change, and you may need to allocate assignments. **Note:** This functionality is only available for Resource Managers, Administrators and Owners. You can reallocate assignment hours in a couple ways: ### Option 1: Reassign from the Side Menu 1. From the **Project: People** or **Project: Phase** view of the **Schedule** page, hover your cursor over a **Person** or **Role** in the list of resources, or tap the row if using a mobile device. The row color changes to indicate the **Person** or **Role** affected. 2. When the floating action icons display, select the **![edit button](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/edit%20button.png?width=27&name=edit%20button.png) More Actions** icon and then select **Reassign**. ![Managing People Assignments\_21](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Managing%20People%20Assignments_21.png?width=259&height=344&name=Managing%20People%20Assignments_21.png) 3. In the **Select Person** field, select a new **Person** or **Role** from the drop-down list. ![Managing People Assignments\_22](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Managing%20People%20Assignments_22.png?width=260&height=440&name=Managing%20People%20Assignments_22.png) ### Option 2: Reassign from the Edit Assignment Dialog 1. From the **People** or **Projects** views of the **Schedule** page, hover your cursor over an assignment bar to display the floating action icons. ![edit and delete floating action buttons only](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/edit%20and%20delete%20floating%20action%20buttons%20only.png?width=244&height=114&name=edit%20and%20delete%20floating%20action%20buttons%20only.png) 2. Select the ![edit icon](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/edit%20icon.png?width=24&height=24&name=edit%20icon.png) **Edit** floating action icon to open the **Edit Assignment** dialog. 3. Select the **Assign To** field and choose a new **Person** or **Role** from the drop-down list. ![reallocate assign dialog](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/reallocate%20assign%20dialog.png?width=202&height=413&name=reallocate%20assign%20dialog.png) 4. Select **Apply** when complete to save or **Cancel** to close the dialog without saving. ### Option 3: Drag-and-Drop Assignment Bar When you're in any of the People or Projects views, you can vertically drag and drop an assignment from one person or role to another person or role. 1. Click or press and hold your left mouse button on an **Assignment Bar** to select it. ![vert drag and drop](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vert%20drag%20and%20drop.png?width=688&height=354&name=vert%20drag%20and%20drop.png) 2. Drag the assignment vertically and drop it to reallocate the assignment to a different person or role. **Note:** If the resource where an assignment is being moved has an existing assignment for the same dates, the assignment is not reallocated. ### Option 4: Drag-and-Drop Phase / Assignment Row When you're in the **People: Phase** view, you can vertically drag and drop a phase row with all its assignments from one person or role to another person or role, or from one role to another role when you're in the **People: Project** view. **Note:** A phase row can only be moved, and the assignments reallocated when all included assignments start on today's date (at the earliest) and extend through future dates. 1. Click or press and hold your left mouse button on the six dots ![vertical row dots](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vertical%20row%20dots.png?width=16&height=22&name=vertical%20row%20dots.png) on a **Phase Row** to select it and the assignments associated with it. ![vertical row 1.5](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vertical%20row%201.5.png?width=688&height=292&name=vertical%20row%201.5.png) 2. Drag the phase row vertically and drop it to move the phase and reallocate the assignments to a different person or role (depending on the view you're in). ![vertical row 2](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vertical%20row%202.png?width=688&height=289&name=vertical%20row%202.png) - When you are moving the row, it displays as a rectangle with a number indicating how many assignments are attached to the phase. 3. A **Success** message displays once the phase row is moved. ![vertical row 3](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vertical%20row%203.png?width=688&height=340&name=vertical%20row%203.png) - **Audere** prevents you from moving a phase row if it can't be moved and an error message displays. A row cannot be moved if: - Phases already exist for the Project-level association - Phases or assignments already exist for the person or role where the row is being moved to --- **See Also:** [Viewing Your Assignments](https://support.audere.com/view-your-assignments?hsLang=en) [Changing Assignment Dates](https://support.audere.com/change-assignment-dates?hsLang=en) [Reviewing the Schedule](https://support.audere.com/review-scheduling?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started](https://support.audere.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Welcome](https://support.audere.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#welcome) - [Quick Start Guide](https://support.audere.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#quick-start-guide) - [What's New](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#main-content) - [2026 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2026-release-notes) - [2025 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2025-release-notes) - [2024 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2024-release-notes) - [2023 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2023-release-notes) - [2022 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2022-release-notes) - [Projects](https://support.audere.com/projects?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing Projects](https://support.audere.com/projects?hsLang=en#managing-projects) - [Managing Phases](https://support.audere.com/projects?hsLang=en#managing-phases) - [People](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing People](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#managing-people) - [Managing Assignments](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#managing-assignments) - [Smart Suggestions](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#smart-suggestions) - [Filters and Views](https://support.audere.com/filters-and-views?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing Schedule Views](https://support.audere.com/filters-and-views?hsLang=en#managing-schedule-views) - [Managing Schedule Filters](https://support.audere.com/filters-and-views?hsLang=en#managing-schedule-filters) - [Manage Settings](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Personal Settings](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#personal-settings) - [Account Settings](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#account-settings) - [Multiple Accounts](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#multiple-accounts) - [FAQs](https://support.audere.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Tips and Tricks](https://support.audere.com/tips-and-tricks?hsLang=en) - [Integration](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#general) - [API Keys](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#api-keys) - [Events](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#events) [![Audere ](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Audere_Logo_Color_RGB_TM.png?width=127&height=24&name=Audere_Logo_Color_RGB_TM.png "Audere ")](https://audere.com) Copyright © 2026, Audere
