Direct allocation

If the project is set up to only register time for allocated employees, the employees should be allocated directly to the tasks where time should be registered – also even if a resource group has been set up. If a resource group is set up, the direct allocation will be easier and faster, as you can only choose to search the resource group’s members instead of all employees – and hourly rates are suggested based on the resource group's setup.

In the Project plan or the Project plan (h.) tab, the menu opens for the task that employees should be allocated to, and Add resources is selected.

Then, search for the employees that should be linked to the task. The search is limited to searching within the resource group’s members, but it is possible to search among all employees, or employees in a specific department (with the TimeLog Departments extension) by changing the setting in the From field.

For each employee to be allocated, indicated the number of hours the employee should allocate to the task, as well as the relevant hourly price.

It will be suggested to link the employee with an hourly rate using the rate derivation method described in 3.2 Rate hierarchy.
