Creating manpower requests is an efficient way to let your team know that you need another resource on a particular job. When you're not sure exactly which resource you want, or you don't have the permission level to create assignments, then manpower requests are the way to go.

Below are instructions on how to create a manpower request:

• From the Boards page, find the project that you need to make a request for.
• Click the 3 dots located on the right-hand side of the project's name.
• Select Create Request.

• Enter the details of your manpower request, then click Save
• You do not have to enter a job title for a manpower request. Leave that section blank to create a generic request
• Scope of Work (optional): Whatever is typed here will populate into the assignment alert that is created upon fulfillment of the request
• Assignment Instructions (optional): Will be populated into the assignment alert
• Comments (optional): Will not be included in alerts. Only users given the permission to view comments will be able to see them.

Manpower requests will be displayed within the blue requests field of each project.

Note: Even though the Boards page is a single-day view, any open manpower requests will always be shown.
