Projects > [Name of project] > Utilization The "Utilization" feature displays a graphical representation of the assigned, booked, and available (scheduled) time your resources have as regards to a particular project. Note therefore that the available time (uncolored) is only for the current project - this time may in fact be assigned or booked to other projects. You will see two bar graphs for each resource (these are the resources that appear in the "Team" list) - one for task assignments, the other for bookings. You will also see the complete date range of existing assignments and bookings for each resource. For example, if a user has three different bookings for a project, the "Booked" date range displayed will be from the first day of the first booking to the last day of the last booking. This will help you navigate the graph - if you click on one of the dates for a resource, the graph will shift so that the date requested is displayed. You can display the data using the Daily view, where each bar represents the resource’s time (in hours or as a percentage) for a day. You can display the data using the Monthly view, where each bar represents the resource’s time for each month. If a resource is overbooked or over-assigned, the overbooked or over-assigned amount (whether in hours or as a percentage) will appear in red. If the amount that a resource is overbooked or over-assigned exceeds the limits of the bar, a red arrow will appear over the bar. If there are no tasks in the project and no bookings for the project, or if the existing tasks have not yet been assigned, the "Utilization" link will be hidden. |
