Managing Resource Replacement

When Shield Platform Encryption is enabled in your org, if the field set used for the search function uses the Resource First Name or Last Name fields, searches are conducted against the Resource Name field.

You can change the resource on one or more assignments, project task assignments and resource requests when:

• You have staffing permissions for the resource to be assigned and the resource to be unassigned.
• There are no timecards, expense reports or expenses associated with the assignment.
• Your administrator has de-activated the Assignment_Resource_is_Constant and Assignment_Resource_is_Required validation rules on the Assignment object.
