You can reassign activities, if needed. For example, if a resource informs you that they cannot perform a certain activity as planned.

You can also reassign activities when Dispatching Jobs.

Reassigning an activity depends on the workflow being used:

Linear workflows

You can reassign one or several activities at the same time.

To reassign an activity in a linear work-flow:

  1. Open GlobalSight
  2. Enter your Project Manager user name and password and then click Login
  3. Open My Jobs. Filter by job status or click All Jobs to view all jobs
  4. Select the job

  7. Click Reassign
  8. Click the activity to reassign and select the resource. You can assign multiple resources by pressing Ctrl

GlobalSight informs the resource in question, but follow up with both the previous and newly-assigned resources.

Contact the GlobalSight Team if you cannot find the resource that you want to use.

To reassign an activity in a non-linear work-flow:

  1. Open GlobalSight
  2. Enter your Project Manager user name and password and then click Login
