Realign resource assignment to project task using Project Workspace

task australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read realign-ra-pws-rmw.md

Realign or synchronize the resource assignment dates with the project task dates. This synchronization helps to schedule and align the resource assignments with the timeline of project task.

Before you begin

Role required: it_project_manager

Procedure

Navigate to All > Workspaces > Project Workspace and open a project.
From the project planning pane, double-click the Planned start date or Planned end date of a project task to edit the field.

Use the Resources not synced icon [Omitted image "resources-not-synced-icon.png"] Alt text: to synchronize the resource assignments dates with the project dates at a project level.
Select Ok.

If the sn_pw.resource_assignment_auto_sync_enabled system property is set to true, then the resources sync automatically in the background. The bottom resource pane updates without any action, and the manual sync icon (resources not synced icon) is hidden since it's no longer needed. The default value is true. When the property is set to false, manual sync via the icon is still required and resources not synced icon is visible. You must have the pps_admin role to enable this property.

Extending a project task does not automatically update the resource assignment end date. The property applies only when the task end date extends beyond the resource assignment date range. In that case, the resource assignment end date updates to match the task end date.

Alternatively, select more actions context menu and select Realign resource assignments to synchronize the resource assignments dates with the project dates at a project level.

Result

The resource assignments dates are synchronized with the project task dates.
