Filters
Resource
The filters applied on a series of the graph based on the resource capacity use.

Allowed values

No Filter
All resources are displayed.
With Utilization
The resources with projected capacity are displayed.
With Overload Period
The resources with at least one period of overload are displayed.
With Average Utilization Overloaded

Allowed values

Constrained Type
Unconstrained Type
Note: You can select the Constrained Type and Unconstrained Type resources at a time.
Threshold
The point at which a resource is considered overloaded.
Note: You must specify the value in percentage.

Allowed values

Infinite
Finite
Chart
Automatic Horizon
If this check box is selected, a limited number of buckets within the plotting area are displayed in the Resource Utilization graph.
Note: By default, this check box is selected.
Calendar
Effective Availability
If this check box is selected, the availability of resources based on the calendar are displayed in the Resource Utilization graph.
Aggregation
This field consolidates the resource utilization percentages into a single series, averaged based on the selected type.

Allowed values

All
Selected
Same Site
Same Resource Group
None
Detailed
View Type
The view type to be displayed in the Resource Utilization graph.

Allowed values

Setup vs Production
The detailed view displays the proportion of capacity used for setup time versus production time within each time bucket for the requested horizon.
Lateness Type
The detailed view displays the proportion of capacity allocated to producing early, on-time, and late orders within each time bucket for the requested horizon.
Order Status
The detailed view displays the proportion of capacity allocated to producing planned, firm planned, and released orders within each time bucket for the requested horizon.
Allocation Type
The detailed view displays the resources based on the allocation type.
View Mode
The type of the resource utilization display.

Allowed values

Hours
Percentage
Buffer Information
This field determines whether to add or remove a series from the graph that displays the buffer information of the resources.

Allowed values

Time
The average buffer time of all operations that are planned to start on that day are displayed.
Average Work buffer
The number of extra hours of work available for a resource at a specific time is displayed.
Note: This option is available only when the graph is grouped by day.
None
The buffer information is not displayed in the graph, except for the Planning Buffer.
Lateness Variation
Early Orders
The color code for indicating early orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
On Time Orders
The color code for indicating on time orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Late Orders
The color code for indicating late orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Tolerance
Threshold
The lateness tolerance threshold for the Resource Utilization graph.
Note: The orders turn to white if they are less late. This is based on the value specified in this field.
Granularity
The granularity color that indicates how late or early an order is based on the color saturation (how close or far it is from white).
Color
Planned Orders
The color code for indicating planned orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Firm Planned Orders
The color code for indicating firm planned orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Released Orders
The color code for indicating released orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Confirmed Orders
The color code for indicating confirmed orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Setup Time
The color code for indicating setup time for resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
Production
The color code for indicating production of the resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
Customer Order Allocations
The color code for indicating customer order allocations in the Resource Utilization graph.
Warehouse Demand Orders
The color code for indicating warehouse demand orders in the Resource Utilization graph.
Other Order Allocations
The color code for indicating other order allocations in the Resource Utilization graph.
Capacity
Available
The color code for indicating available capacity of resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
Used
The color code for indicating used capacity of resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
Overload
Duration
The color code for indicating overload duration of resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
Maximum
The color code for indicating maximum overload of resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
Average
The color code for indicating average overload of resources in the Resource Utilization graph.
