Availability refers to time available for work. Initially, the daily availability for a resource is based on the number entered in the Availability field in their profile. By default, that number is 8. This number is multiplied by 5, which is the number of business days in a standard workweek. For example, if the value is 8 in the Availability field. The resource can work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for a total of 40 hours per week.
Whenever you book a resource to an investment as a staff member, allocated time is tracked against available time. You can over-allocate the resource availability to keep staffing flexible and dynamic. However, an over-allocated resource cannot perform work efficiently or complete work by the established end date. Thus, it is important to keep abreast of how your resources are being allocated to investments. Use Resource Planning to monitor resource allocations and to compare resource allocation to availability. Use this tool to change allocations.
