Adding Placeholder People

Concepts

Placeholder people are temporary people who can be registered as part of a group whose members aren't known yet. A company may offer to send multiple volunteers to you for a project but doesn't yet know their names - register placeholder people until you know the identities of who's actually coming. Placeholder people will show up in summary and detail reports but can be suppressed from mailings or other reports.

Adding placeholder people to a project

You can add individual placeholder people using the Registration Wizard, but generally you'll add them in bulk. From either the list of all people in a project or from within a delegation, click on the Add placeholder people link.

When you click on the Create button, VSys will create these people and register them in the project with no assignments, job preferences, or availability.
