Assigning Resources to Tasks

Whether you're inviting personnel to a meeting, managing cleanroom availability, or deciding which equipment to use in your laboratory processes, L7 Scheduling lets you assign specific resources to scheduled tasks to keep track of how resources are being used.

Once a resource is assigned to a task you can,

L7 Scheduling includes four schedulable resource types (personnel, workgroups, locations, and workgroups), and additional schedulable resources can be created in L7|MASTER.

Resources can be assigned when creating new tasks or added/updated to existing tasks (but not "running" process tasks).

Procedure

1. Navigate to the Calendar page

2. Navigate to Task Details by clicking either Edit Task or + New Task

3. Select the resource(s) to assign

   Note

   When a resource is assigned to a task outside of their scheduled working hours, or is already assigned to a different task during that time block, then a warning icon will appear next to the resource's name and the system will indicate there is a Conflict. To learn more, see Resolving Schedule Conflicts.

When scheduling long experiments, you may need to partially assign personnel from one shift to start the process, then personnel from the next shift to finish the process. L7 Scheduling allows you to manage if a resource will be used throughout the full duration of the task, or you can assign partial task durations to specific time blocks within the task.
