The resource loading pattern is the pattern by which you want a resource's ETC distributed over a set date range. The system-level default resource load pattern is defined by your CA Clarity PPM administrator.
Note: Contact your CA Clarity PPM administrator or see the Administration Guide for more information.
You can choose from one of the following loading patterns:
Work effort is loaded as close to the end of the task as possible, based on unused resource availability after autoscheduling. With this loading pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on non-adjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the loading pattern type.
Work effort is loaded as evenly as possible across the duration of the task, based on unused resource availability after autoscheduling. With this loading pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on non-adjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the loading pattern type.
Work effort distribution is user-defined. Autoschedule does not affect this. With this loading pattern, ETC is decremented through the timesheet period (that is, Actuals through Date) whether or not the resource posted actuals to the task.
Work effort is loaded as close to the start of the task as possible, based on unused resource availability after autoschedule. With this loading pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on non-adjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the loading pattern type.
Work effort is loaded as evenly as possible based on total resource availability. With this loading pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on non-adjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the loading pattern type.
