The Initial ratio for Activity duration field indicates
the percentage by which the company-wide estimations of the activity
duration is multiplied to get the estimated activity duration at the
resource level for the new activities. This ratio is applicable only
for those activities that are relatively new to the resource with
no significant past data. You can edit this field only if the resource
doesn't have any completed activities.
Note: The field is displayed only for field resource, tool,
and vehicle resource types.
- Log in to the Core application as an admin user.
-
Navigate to Configuration, User Types page.
-
Select the Screen Configuration tab.
- Add the Initial ratio for Activity duration field
to the Edit Resource/User context layout and set RW visibility.
- Click Save.
-
Navigate to the Add or Edit Resource page.
Note: Based on the settings in Configuration, Statistics, the fields, Lower limit
for personal ratio to calculate duration, % and Upper limit for personal ratio to
calculate duration, % are displayed.
-
Set an appropriate value for the Initial ratio for Activity
duration field.
For example, select 120%. You can view the value on the Resource Edit
and Resource Hint pages. The
Default ratio for Activity duration field is
displayed as read-only under the
Initial ratio for Activity duration
field based on the reported duration after the field resource completes at least
one activity.
The Default ratio for Activity duration value is always
displayed as Read-Only value and only if the Initial ratio for Activity
duration value is displayed. The message below the Initial ratio for
Activity duration drop-down list enables you to understand how the
Initial ratio for Activity duration value impacts the resource.
If
the Initial ratio for Activity duration value of the resource differs from
one of the predefined options, the current value is added to the bottom of
the list. The initial ratio for Activity duration value set through the API
is converted to percentages. For example, if you use the API and set the
value to “1.25”, then on the Resource Edit page and Resource Hint, the value
is shown as "125%".
