This field is enabled only if the Used for Workload Leveling check box is selected.
By default, the value is set to two. You can modify the value.

Lower Limit Standard Deviation of Work Load

The lower limit you set as the standard deviation. The planning engines perform the workload leveling geographically to reset the total of activity duration and travel duration across groups until the standard deviation is reached.

Note:

By default, the value is set to 0.00.
This field is enabled only if the Used for Workload Leveling check box is selected and the Activity Origin is set to Service Order or Planned Activity.

Time Duration Unit

Maximum Indicative Length of Route

The maximum indicative length of the route calculated by the planning engineer when workload leveling is performed. The maximum value can be set up individually for each group of attribute values. This calculation helps avoid long routes.
