Resource Utilization

The Resource Utilization portlet contains a complete listing of all the resources that have been assigned to the project. The portlet displays allocations and assignments and the variance between them. A time period can be selected, based on the company-entered time periods, for display of the resource data. The data repeats for each time period and displayed by using two header rows: one for the time periods and one for the column names.

For data to appear in the portlet, resources allocated to the project and assigned to tasks on the project.

The following columns display on the portlet:

Resource

Displays the name of the resource (last name, first name) associated to the specific issue. Click on the resource name to drill down to the resource/role allocations page.

Allocation

The number of hours the resource is allocated to the selected project.

Assignment

The number of hours the resource is assigned to the selected project.

Variance

The difference between Allocation minus Assignment. For a negative number, the user is under-allocated. For a positive number, the user is over-allocated.

These four columns repeat with each time period. The time periods display in a row above the column headers.
