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.
