Steps to Take to Update PPM Project Personnel Assignments: Update B


1. In this folder, you will find all Awards/Projects/Tasks with current Award/Project/Task personnel assignments
2. Locate the file for your organization and edit directly within the file.
3. Only edit orange color columns: H,K,N,T,W,Z,AF,AH as desired

a. Make sure to enter the email address (not name) of the person you want assigned
b. If you have multiple Tasks in a Project or Award, the Project or Award personnel must be consistent throughout the file, otherwise, the first entry will be updated
c. For example; if you have an Award with 2 Projects, each with 3 Tasks that have 3 unique Task Managers, the Project Manager must be the same for all three rows and the Award Fund Manager must be the same for all 6 rows

4. If any of the columns have changed or the file name is not the same, your file may not be processed
5. Save changes in parent folder by 4/28/21
