Viewing resource load is an important way for you to see how many resources are required for your current projects and your upcoming projects.
To view resource load in Resource Planner, select Usage on the Show menu on the Resource Planner toolbar. Then select Percentage on the Units menu. Once selected, then you will see see all your resources and the cell metrics will display the percentage load for resource. This percentage value is the amount of resources that is required as compared to their capacity.
Hover your mouse over a usage cell and it will display the number of days required and the number of days available for that day, week, month or year.
If the cell is colored red, then this alerts you that there is too much use of this resource based on the quota of the resource. This over allocation is a risk to the company whereby the resource may not be available for the work in the time allocated.
Click on a usage cell to view the tasks allocated for that day, week, month or year.
Tip: You can specify the quota (or how many units) for a resource by editing the resource and filling in the Quota field.Was this article helpful?
