To open the assignment and work on the budget:

1. Click Assignments.
2. Click  on the assignment (orange) you want to open.
3. Click  on the budget template you want to open and edit.
4. (if applicable) If the assignment status is Pre-assignment:
   1. Select the relevant parameters. If the parameter fields are gray, the person who created the assignment has already defined these parameters. They cannot be changed.
   2. Click Generate assignments. The assignment status is now New.
   3. Click  on the budget (orange) you want to open and edit.
