What is a project-specific register?

Step 1: Accessing the Plant Register

• Open your project management tool or software that includes the register functionality.
• Locate and access the Plant Register section.

Step 2: Reviewing Register Entries

• Once you have opened the Plant Register, take a moment to review the existing entries.
• Identify any items that are assigned to multiple projects simultaneously.

Step 3: Understanding Project Assignment Limitations

• Consider the importance of limiting project assignments for certain items, such as an excavator, which typically should be assigned to only one project at a time.
• Recognize that in some cases, having an item assigned to multiple projects may be acceptable.

Step 4: Configuring Register Settings

• Click on the "More" menu within the register section.
• Look for an option called "Assigning Mode" or a similar setting that governs how items can be assigned to projects.

Step 5: Selecting Single Project Only Mode

• In the "Assigning Mode" options, choose the "Single Project Only" mode.
• This setting ensures that items in the register can only be assigned to one project at a time.
• Assigning a new project to an item will automatically remove its previous assignment.

Step 6: Applying the Setting

• Save the changes made to the register settings.
• The register is now configured to allow single project assignments.

Step 7: Updating Existing Assignments

• Return to the Plant Register and locate the item that was previously assigned to multiple projects.
• Update the item by removing any additional project assignments, leaving only one project associated with it.

Step 8: Verifying the Changes

• After updating the item, ensure that it is now assigned to a single project.
• Confirm that attempting to assign the item to a different project will replace the previous assignment rather than allowing multiple assignments.

Step 9: Understanding Project-Specific Registers

• Project-specific registers are registers where items can only be assigned to one project at a time, as dictated by the register settings.
• By configuring the register to single project assignments, you can effectively manage and control project assignments for your staff.

Understanding project-specific registers is essential for effective project management. By configuring the register settings to limit project assignments, you can ensure better control and organisation of your project resources.
