Drivers and driver categories

A driver is a key operating indicator that represents the workload. Use the Driver and Driver Category page to create new and edit existing drivers and driver categories. You can also assign dimensions to the drivers. The Driver and Driver Category page contains these tabs:

• The Driver Categories tab lists the driver categories, the date that each category was added, and the description.
• The Drivers tab lists the drivers. This information is listed: driver usage, category, name, description, the value setting, unit of measure, driver type, and the contact person. This tab also shows if the driver is activated and contains links to the Driver Dimensions tab. You can select or deselect a driver to activate or deactivate it. You cannot deactivate a driver that is used in labor planning in any active configuration set for the current period. If a base driver is used to calculate any active driver, you cannot deactivate that base driver.

  To filter the driver category, click the selected category. To remove the filter and view all drivers, click the filter icon.

• The Driver Dimensions tab lists all the drivers with their categories and activated dimensions for the selected configuration set and version. You can change the configuration set and version for which the drivers are displayed.
