# How to assign Resources or Roles with ScheduleReader?

Once the proposal for the new activity is inserted in the project plan, the user can give a proposal who can work on the newly created activity or which role can best perform the work. The process for inserting resource/role is as follow:

1. Select the activity that is added and click on the Edit Activity button in the Progress Update ribbon;

2. Select the Resource/Role tab;
