Designate discipline

When you designate a discipline, you are assigning a single member of each discipline required for a task. If you want to assign more than one member of a discipline to a task, use the Assignments → Assign to Task menu command.

Note: You cannot designate a discipline if there are qualifications assigned to a task.

Procedure

1. Select the task or tasks.
2. Right-click the task or tasks and choose Assignments → Designate Discipline.
   • If there are multiple disciplines assigned to the task or tasks, the Designate Disciplines dialog box appears, showing disciplines common to all selected tasks.
   • If there is only one discipline assigned, the Discipline Members dialog box appears directly, showing users in the schedule belonging to that discipline.
3. Select a discipline and click Next. The Discipline Members dialog box appears.
4. In the Discipline Members dialog box, select a member of the discipline to assign to the task.
   • If the member does not appear in the list, click the Expand button to open a list of members who are outside your schedule and select one.
5. Click OK.

The member is assigned to the task. If there are multiple disciplines assigned to the task or tasks, repeat the selection of discipline and member.

The group/role and discipline requirements for the task are kept.
