Autoschedule uses the resource load pattern to determine the ETC that is distributed for a resource over a set date range. You can establish the default resource load pattern at the system level and at the task assignment level. ETC is distributed first based on the resource load pattern defined at the task assignment level then at the system level.
You can select from one of the following load patterns:
Work effort is loaded as close to the end of the task as possible, based on unused resource availability after autoscheduling. With this load pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on unadjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the load pattern type.
Work effort is loaded as evenly as possible based on total resource availability. With this load pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on unadjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the load pattern type.
Work effort distribution is user-defined. Autoschedule does not affect work effort distribution. With a Fixed load pattern, ETC is decremented through the timesheet period (that is, Actuals through Date) if the resource posted actuals to the task. The remaining ETC remains fixed in the schedule, on the day the work was assigned. The remaining ETC is not reallocated to the remaining duration of the task.
Work effort is loaded as evenly as possible across the duration of the task, based on unused resource availability after autoscheduling. With this load pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on unadjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the load pattern type.
If you are using CA Clarity PPM with Microsoft Project, when you open the project the first time from Microsoft Project, the work contour for the new assignments is set to flat. If you previously opened the assignment in Microsoft Project and saved it to CA Clarity PPM, the work contour in Microsoft Project does not change.
Work effort is loaded as close to the start of the task as possible, based on unused resource availability after autoschedule. With this load pattern, ETC is only decremented when actuals are posted on unadjusted timesheets. The remaining ETC is spread out past the timesheet period based on the loading pattern type.
