Resource Center Options
If the Resource Center feature is enabled for your account, users with the “View Resource Center” role permission and access to the Resources application can use the resource center view. For more information about the Resource Center feature, see Working with the Resource Center View.
The resource center view shows a resource list on the left with resource, project and booking information, and a booking grid on the right which can be used to view, add and modify hours at the lowest drill-down level (Booking type).
Resource availability indicators in the booking grid show the availability of the resource for each week as you add bookings or make changes to existing bookings for this resource. The availability indicator shows the number of hours available for booking based on the total number of hours across existing bookings for this resource that week or month, and the total number hours the resource is working that week or month (according to the employee work schedule). If the Overbooked resources warning indicators are enabled in the view display options, the availability indicator always shows for a given resource in a given week or month when booked hours reach a utilization threshold.
Account administrators can set the utilization threshold for overbooked warning indicators.
To do so, go to Administration > Application Settings > Resources > Resource Center Options.
In the Overbooked warning indicator (%) field, enter the utilization threshold for overbooked warning indicators. The utilization threshold is given as a percentage of working hours in a given week or month. The value must be between 0 and 999.
The booking grid cell shows a warning indicator if the total number of hours the resource is booked for is greater than or equal to the specified percentage of working hours.
In this context, utilization is understood as the percentage of working hours the resource is currently booked for across all projects in a given week or month.
