8.2 Usage Guidelines

Often when doing a capacity plan you find yourself having to
gather information from your user base on their plans. These
user forecasts are then aggregated into a whole which is used
to formulate the consumption numbers upon which the capacity
plan is based. These consumption values are then compared to
current levels to ascertain the need for an upgrade. The
Worksheet Facility provides an automated method of generating
the reports distributed to your user base (or used for you
own work) and then showing the effect of these projections on
your capacity planning actuals data in the Capacity Planner
database. The Worksheet Effect Reports can be placed into the
Production Reporting Facility of MICF to produce these
reports on a regular basis so you can track how well the
actual values match the projected values.
