# Resource task group assignments

Industrial Equipment Manufacturing extends the Start/Stop functionality for resource tasks with a group selection. This is useful when many resources are assigned to a task. In that case, open a selection window from the **Start/Stop Wizard** to select the resources for which the task must be started.

## Steps - Group assignments from Project Control Suite

1. Select a resource group in a project planning line and release the planning line as well as the project task to create or update the resource task.
2. Choose the ![Lightbulb](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon, enter **Resource Task List**, and then choose the related link.
3. Select the task just created or updated and click **Start** in the ribbon to open the **Time Input Line Wizard**.
4. Note that the wizard specifies the resource code linked to the current user ID.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** This means you can plan per resource group but time registration is always per resource.
5. Click **Finish** in the **Time Input Line Wizard** to start the resource task.

## Steps - Group assignments from manufacturing

In manufacturing, you can also create an assignment for a resource group. That assignment becomes resource-specific when the task is started.

1. To open the **Prod. Order Routing Resource**, select a production order and from the **Line** menu, select **Routing**. From the **Prod. Order Routing** page, select **Related** and click **Resources**.
2. On the **Prod. Order Routing Resource** page, assign either a resource or a resource group to the operation. Specify a percentage for setup, run time, or both.
3. In this scenario, select a resource group in the production order. Click **Create Task Assignment** in the ribbon to create or update the assignment for the resource group.
4. From the **Resource Task List**, start and stop the resource task in the same way as the project task.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> - In most cases, the current user is a member of the selected resource group and can select **Finish** to start the task.
> - If the current user is not part of the selected group, a warning appears: "You are not part of the assigned group." The user can close the wizard and select another assignment.
> - When the user selects **Finish**, the user is assumed to be temporarily assigned to another group and creates the time input line for that resource or resource group combination.
