Resource Management

Changes to Resource Load/ Planning 

To optimize the load and reduce the amount of data calculated in real time on Resource Load and Planning interfaces, a new set of rules for Resource load and Resource Planning interfaces is being introduced. This change of behavior will lead to alignment of these functional areas with similar tools in the market and best practices for end user interactions. 

The product behavior will change as follows: 

  • Pagination will be implemented to show a limited number of Resources at any one time on Resource Load and Resource planning interfaces.  
  • The view period timeframe (Day, Week, Month) is currently set to a maximum limit of 52. The default behavior and maximum limit for each date filter will be adjusted to reduce real time data calculation and optimize page load.   
  • The “Save as default” setting will be turned ON by default. Each time the User changes date filters, the page size for pagination, or filters, these new default settings will be updated automatically and used the next time the same page is opened. 

           

NOTE

  • This feature has been opened to all customers’ sandbox environments. 
  • This change is anticipated to be effective in Production for all customers from January 1, 2024. 

           

NOTE

The following features will be released soon. Customers with sandbox environments who would like to enable these new features should contact their Customer Success Manager.

Resource Management

Retain Resource Capacity when Filtering Reports 

We are enhancing the treatment of Resources when Capacity Time Phased Data is included in a report and related to Labor or Staff Time Phased Data. 

There are three main changes:  

  • It is possible to choose whether filters set on Labor or Staff Time Phased Data fields restrict the resources shown in a Report. If they do not, only filters defined using User/Capacity fields will determine the resources that are shown. 
  • Resource Capacity is now shown for time periods where resources are not assigned to work items. 
  • There are now two Advanced Logic filter sections split between Labor/Staff Time Phased Data fields and User/Capacity fields. Filters need to be contained in the correct section to pass the syntax check and cannot be mixed. This is so that customers can opt to restrict resources shown using User/Capacity fields only. 

The new functionality will apply only after a report is created or edited. Existing reports will behave as before until edited.  

Notices
