Capacity Planning

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

When creating new resources, we want to simply allocate 8 hours per workday to their capacity planning. In the help instructions it says that we can use the "Set Capacity" window to set a date range and hours per day.  It states that this should then set it for the time period.  In my testing, if I set the dates to be a year, and put in 8 hours per day, it puts all 2080 hours into the first month of the year.  Is this a bug or is there another way that we should be doing it? It does appear that utilizing jobs, requires you to enter the capacity, therefore we would prefer it be accurate, but don't want to have to type in 8 hours per day for the entire year.  Thank you!

    Hello Kaydee,

    The 'Set Capacity' window is missing the 'Update Capacity' button.  So as of now, you go into the 'Set Capacity' window for a specific resource and set the date range for the entire year, enter 8 hr for M-F and there is no way to apply this.  You exit the window and the hours you just specified don't actually get applied.  

    The only way you should be seeing 2080 get applied is if you are specifically typing that into the Resource Capacity page while doing a 'View by' - Year.  If you just type in 2080 it will dump it all into the first month of the year.

    The problem here is that the 'Set Capacity' page is missing the button that would allow you to set the hours per day for a large period of time.  This is already fixed in the next scheduled update which should be dropping very soon.... Hopefully next week.

    Thanks,

    Chris
