Display time

Schedule workload

By selecting “Display timelogs” in the « Who » view, you can schedule workload to a member.

For each member, you have the time slots (corresponding to the duration of the task) on which you can schedule their workload. These time slots are shown by colored areas (the color of your project).

View occupancy rates

The occupancy rates are visible on the member’s line and correspond to the member’s occupancy rate per day on all the projects on which he is assigned. In workload planning, the occupancy rate allows you to see if a member is available and for how many hours, but also if you have planned too much workload for them.

The colors of the occupancy rates are: 

• Green: planned workload 
• Grey: workload available 
• Red: workload exceeding the length of the member’s day

You can use the toggle button at the top left to switch to the time sheet by member.
