Splitting a resource assignment at a specific date creates a resource assignment for the same user.

## Before you begin

* When you split a resource assignment, a new assignment is created from the selected date. Both the assignments are assigned to the same user retaining the state of the assignment.
* When you split a resource assignment, a new assignment is created from the selected date. Both the assignments are assigned to the same user with Approved state.
* If a resource assignment has actuals captured for a certain duration, you can split the work only at the dates where there are no actuals captured.
* Role required: it_demand_manager

## About this task

Use split when you need to divide a single resource's assignment into two time periods with different allocation levels, effort distributions, or tracking granularity. For example, split an assignment when a resource needs to
reduce their allocation after a project milestone.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesPortfolio Planning Workspace.
2. Select the Demands icon ![]().
3. Open a demand from the List page.
4. Select the Resources tab.  
   The resource grid opens for the demand timeline, grouped by Primary Group.
5. Select the chevron icon (![Chevron]()) to expand the resource view.
6. Select the row context menu (![Three vertical dots icon for row context menu.]()) for the required work item and select Split.  
   The Split modal appears with task insights such as the task name, resource name, start date, and end date.
7. On the Split modal, select a date to split the resource assignment using the date picker.
8. Select Split.

## Result

The resource assignment is split at the selected date and a copy of the resource assignment with new dates are displayed under the assignments of the selected resource.

## Example

Consider a resource assignment named Implement GenAI in docs assigned to Abel Tuter from July 16 through December 02. If you split the resource assignment at September 09, there will be two resource assignments with the same name and state assigned to Abel Tuter.

One resource assignment ranges from July 16 to September 09, and the other assignment ranges from September 10 to December 02.
