Capacity plan presentation

Unlike the schedulescheduleThe capacity plan contains the other projects on which resources are working and have remaining work or completed work.

On this screen, you can :

  • Color-coded resource availability at a glance
  • Rapidly allocate new resources
  • Modify the remaining work on several projects for a resource, or on the contrary for several resources on a project.

By hovering over a gray break bar (project or resource), the values for availability, capacity, remaining work and completed are displayed, depending on the period.
