Description

Capacity Month Range

You can control how far in the future capacity will be calculated for in the OData reporting feed (5 years maximum although 2 years or less are recommended for better performance of the OData feed). The amount of months selected will start from the current month.

FTE Hours

If this setting is blank, your default calendars hours per day will be used for FTE to hours conversions. 

If you update this new setting, the value entered will be used for FTE conversions going forward.

Pre-Filters

See Pre-Filters for details.

Enable Private/Public Entries

When this feature is enabled, each row added to the resource plan will be private.

Private rows do not show in reports, do not show on the All Plans Resource Plan page, and do not get imported into the Financial Planner.

Users can change an individual row to public or can quickly change all rows to public at once using the Make Public button in the resource planner.

Match Field

Select the method for matching named resources with generic resources. Default is Role. Options include Business Unit, or Role.

External ID Field

You can specify a plan level field to use as the unique key for each plan. If no field is specified, the plan id field is used.

Ignore Time Off Cost Types

You can specify resource plan types where time off should not be displayed. If no resource plan type (cost type) is selected, time off will be displayed in all types.

Pre-Filters

Pre-filters narrow the number of resources loaded into in the Resource Plan, showing users only the kinds of resources they want and improving query performance.
