Resources. Plan

Purpose. The planner's workplace: a table for a month. Projects and employees are on the left, days are on top, and the cells hold the hours a person must give a project that day.

Who sees it. Roles with permission for the “Resources” section. Roles with permissions on the “Resource plans” collection can edit cells.

How to open. Menu Work → Resources, the Plan tab.

What is on the screen​

Plan by day

  1. Month chooses the period.
  2. Filters by project and by employee.
  3. Download Excel exports the table.
  4. Add to plan adds an employee to a project: choose a project and a person.
  5. Add from project teams creates empty rows for all team members. With a project filter, only that project's people are added, otherwise those of all projects. Those already added are skipped.
  6. Mass fill writes the same hours to each working day of a range: you need a project, an employee, a range, and hours per day. Weekends, holidays, and shortened days get zero.
  7. Warnings show the plan's problems for the month.
  8. A project row. The arrow on the left collapses people. In brackets is the number of people, in the “Total” column the sum of hours.
  9. An employee row. In the Priority column you choose “High”, “Medium”, or “Low”, and in the day cells you enter hours.
  10. Under the table there is a legend: weekends, shortened days, and holidays are colored.

See problems​

The Warnings button opens two lists:

  • Daily overload. More than 8 hours are planned for an employee on a day across all projects. Such cells are outlined in red.
  • Fact without a plan row. There are tracks on a project but the employee is not in the plan. The Add to plan button creates a row.

Priority​

Priority does not affect calculations. It suggests whose time is more important when redistributing people.
