Resources can have a target billable utilization. Define this target utilization as an attribute on a resource's default role or set it on the record of the individual bookable resource. Utilization calculations are based on the actual hours that resources report by using approved time entries.
The following formulas calculate utilization:
- Billable utilization = Chargeable actual hours ÷ Resource capacity
- Non-billable utilization = Actual time with billing type ID = Non-chargeable, Complementary, or Not available ÷ Resource capacity
- Internal = Actual time with no sales contract ÷ Resource capacity
- Resource capacity = Resource work hours – Out-of-office – Non-working days
Find the Resource Utilization view in the Resources pane.
Each cell in the grid represents the billable utilization percentage of the resource in a period, such as a day, week, or month. The following formulas color the cells:
- Green: Billable utilization >= Resource target utilization
- Yellow: Target utilization – 20 <= Billable utilization < Target utilization
- Red: Billable utilization < Target utilization – 20
Because the Resource Utilization view is based on the Schedule Board, you can use the filtering capabilities of the Schedule Board to filter your results.
The grid requires that you set a target utilization on either the role or the individual resource. To set up this target utilization, go to Resources > Resource roles.
Additionally, assign a default role to each bookable resource. Go to Resources > Resources. On the Project Service tab, verify that a resource role is defined, and that the Is Default field is set to Yes. You can add extra roles where Is Default = No. The role where the Is Default = Yes is used to evaluate the resource's utilization against the target for that role.
On the Project Service tab, you can also set an individual target utilization for the resource. The utilization calculation then uses that target utilization to evaluate the resource's target instead of the target of the resource's default role.
Utilization only shows for a resource if that resource has approved, chargeable time during the period shown in the grid.
