Viewing Resource Group Utilization Records

To display the utilization records:
  1. Open the Resource Group Utilization form.
  2. In the Start Date field, select the starting date for the period you want to analyze.
  3. In the Intervals fields, select the method in which to display the utilization records. For example, specify 7 in the first Intervals field and select Days from the drop-down list to display 7 records, each representing a one-day time period.
  4. In the Threshold field, enter a percentage to filter the display by the utilization of the resources. The grid displays records only for resource groups that have Utilization percentages greater than or equal to the Threshold.
  5. Scheduler version only: If desired, select Exclude Infinite Resource Groups to exclude all Infinite resource groups from the analysis display.
  6. If desired, select Exclude Infinite Resource Groups to exclude resource groups in which the Infinite Resource Capacity After field is set to 0.
  7. If desired, you may filter on a specific resource group by selecting the resource in the Resource Group column in the grid.
  8. Click the filter-in-place button to display the utilization records.

Each row in the grid corresponds to a resource group and time interval in which the utilization occurs. The rows are sorted by descending utilization (that is, the most critical bottleneck resource groups are listed first).

After identifying a bottleneck resource group, you can select a utilization record and click the Load Profile button to launch the Resource Group Load Profile form and determine the cause for the over-utilization.
