Hi folks,
This may be rather a large post so please bear with me.
I'm looking at whether Dynamics could be used for a project we have coming up soon and I wanted to see if anyone could advise on using the Schedule Board or Calendar.
We're managing a set of Delegates and we need to be able to track their work activity over the year. Delegates can be seconded to an overseas office, working for another organisation, on holiday, on sick leave and possibly some other activities. Some of these activities are cost-recovered and some aren't (e.g. personal development is covered by our organisation). We record activity down to the day (not hour), which has caused me some issues with trying to test the Field Service.
The important thing is that we need to be able to provide a monthly report for each Delegate, giving a breakdown of the number of days they've been on sick leave, the number deployed and the number on training, etc. I can't find a way to do this using standard activities with a start and end date.
I guess this is roster management with reporting.
Does anyone have any suggestions or has had experience doing something similar? I'm guessing that the Field Service may be usable but perhaps the normal calendar would work?
Thank you kindly,
Matt
