This article covers legacy Flux Capacity functionality.- If you are in the beginning stages of setting up resource management functionality in your org, or if you are already using TaskRay Resource Management features, refer to the new Resource Management documentation.
- If your organization currently uses Flux Capacity for resource management, use this article if you need to get information on Flux functionality.
Resource Summary Row
Each Flux Resource has a top-line stats bar that summarizes all of the Projects and Tasks displayed in the timeline.
Color coding of the summary row blocks is based on the following:
- Blue = Greater than 0 hours, less than or equal to 100% forecast utilization
- Red = Greater than 100% forecast utilization or >0 hrs work assigned on a day with 0 capacity (Queues and Time Away dates)
- Grey = 0 hours forecasted
- Orange = Time Away present
- Light Blue = Resource with 0 hour Utilization Target (typically Queues)
Examples of each are illustrated below:
Within the Resource Timeline, you can easily drill down from a Flux Resource to see the underlying TaskRay Project and TaskRay Task data that makes up the summary stats.
