7. Once the resources are added, click **Save**.

**Calculate Capacity**:

To calculate remaining capacity of a resource under the **Resources** tab, refer to [Calculate Resource Capacity](docId:_0oQ_E2OuUViz6BluaLgF).

**Create a task for the resource**:

To create a task for a resource, do the following:

1. Click the **Resources** tab in the **Project Phase** workspace.
2. Select an employee from the given list who has the capacity to complete a task.

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
b. **Details**: Enter any details associated with the task.
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
c. **Phase\***: From the dropdown, select the project phase you want to create the task for.
:::

:::hint{type="info" indent="2"}
The dropdown lists only the Phases that are in the **Active** or **Initial** state and have a Project associated with them.
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
d. **Priority**: From the dropdown, assign the task priority. The value ranges from 1 to 5 (in the order of highest to lowest).
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
e. **Planned Effort (Hrs.)**: Enter the expected effort in hours for completing the task.

4. Click **OK**.

The task is now created and it appears under the **Task** tab in the Project Phase workspace.

:::hint{type="info"}
Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk.
:::

:::hint{type="danger"}
Some Project Phases do not have a Project linked when created by users with the Administrator role. As a result, these Project Phases do not appear as options when selecting a phase while creating a new task. Therefore, we recommend that users with the Demand Manager, Project Manager, or Portfolio Manager roles create new Project Phases from within the Project workspace.
