Resource Utilisation

This provides an overview of the resource utilisation under certain criteria such as over allocation, under allocation, weekends, holidays etc using different colour combinations. The resources will appear on the left side as per the refined criteria done on the search box (please refer to search box criteria). The time allocation done through Task Planning will initially appear here where user can change if preferred. However, the time changes here will not be reflected on the Task Planning area.

The total effort will be displayed as a summary against each resource under the effort column.

User cannot edit/update any details which falls prior to the current date. However, the task allocation details for dates which falls after the current date can be changed from the chart by simply clicking on the no. of hours shown.

By clicking the 'plus' sign, you can expand the resource to view the projects in concern. You can further expand the project by clicking the 'plus' sign against it to view the Tasks related to the project as shown below.

You cannot add any hours/tasks to the dates on which the staff is on leave. When you click on a resource (shown in below screenshot), you will be taken to a screen which will enable you to edit/update the leave status and settings for the resource (next screenshot).

When you click on a project,

it will direct you to a screen which will provide the tasks of the project under the list fields along with a Gantt chart (Task Planning).

A pop up as shown below will appear when you click on each task enabling you to change the Task Allocation for a given date range. Please tick the 'Overwrite Existing allocation' option if you wish to overwrite the current allocated time.
