hi Patrick,
this is different. The previous one is the system will pre-assigned the
workload to the analysts but this one the system will not assigned workload
to the analysts unless he completed the bid that was assigned to him and also
the system will not assigned a work to an analysts if he is not working on
that state.

Hi, Im doing a project which will assign work to analysts. We were
working
in a shared file excel 2003. The process would be once the analysts hit
the
button €śget work€ť the next available BID that was not yet assigned to
anyone
will be assigned to her and the system should not assign that BID to
anyone.
There are state that can only be work on by specific. This is the
inventory
file:
State BID # of provs Analysts Status #of analyzed item Loader
Status
#of loaded item
CA 1 4
MD 2 5
TX 3 6
List of analysts:
Josan -
Mel €“ should not assign BID which is in CA
Leo
Edison €“ Should not assign BID which is in CA
List of loaders:
Ferdy
Cha
Kathy €“ should not assign BID which is in CA
There should be a button €śGet Work€ť, if this is click by Mel, since the
first available BID is in the CA state this should not be assign to her,
the
system will give her the BID 2 instead, the system will prompt a message
box
€śPlease work on BID 2€ť. The system will then populate the name €śMel€ť in
the
analysts column. Only the system is allowed to update the €śAnalysts€ť
column.
The system will not give another BID to Mel unless the BID 2 that was
assigned to her has a status and # of analyzed item column is populated.
The
system will not allow the analyzer to input # in the €ś# of analyzed item€ť
which is greater than the €ś# of provs€ť. If the 2 columns is populated then
if
she click on €śGet Work€ť again the system will assign to her the next
available BID but if its not then the system will prompt €śPlease complete
the
BID 2 and populate Status and # of analyzed item column€ť. For the loaders
work assignment. There should be a button €śGet analyzed item€ť, this will
be
click by the Loaders same algorithm for analyzers the difference is only
the
BIDs which has a status of analyzed will be assigned to them loaders
should
also need to populate the status and # of loaded item. # of loaded item
should only equal to or less than # of analyzed item. Like for the
analyzer,
if the next €śanalyzed BID€ť is CA and the loader who clicks the button is
Kathy, the system will get the next analyzed BID which is not CA. The
system
should work FIFO.
Please feel free to shoot me email if you have questions:
Really need this project completed.... thanks a lot!
