Summary

I/ Consult the team schedule

II/ Manage the schedule

III/ Check the availability of collaborators

 

I/ Consult the team schedule

Go to the team > Scheduling > Schedule. You will see the schedule of your teams, with the assignments of your active collaborators on the project phases. 

schedule

🤨 In the resource schedule, periods not assigned to a collaborator, or a collaborator without license are in grey.

grey-periods

Navigate through tabs and use filters for more details and use zoom and full screen to make the schedule your own

It's done ! 🎉

 

II/ Manage the schedule

You know how to manage the schedule from the projects (see the article) but you can manage it at the team level in team > schedule
💡 To add new periods, click on + period.

add-period

And fill out the form.

Choose :
- The project
- The phase/annex (optional)
- The start and end dates (unless you check the "synchronize the task with the schedule" module, then the period will resume the dates of the production schedule of the phase)
- Assign the task to a collaborator and a role (optional but this allows you to generate a schedule on the collaborator side too)
- Time per day, in hours or in percentage depending on your settings (if you checked "synchronize the task with the budget" then the time per day will be calculated according to the budget and the duration of the period)
- The days of the week on which the employee must work.

In the Availability tab you can check wether the collaborators are available or overloaded during the duration of the period.

Save, done! 🎉

 

III/ Check the availability of collaborators

Go to the Availabilities tab. You have assigned your collaborators to projects but it is likely that you will see:

- Gradation of green cells

- Red cells

availability

Here, Maureen has a red cell because she is on paid leaves. The overload is due to work periods scheduled over a period when not available. Click on the cell for details. 
cell-details
The idea is therefore to free up time for employees and to check team availability.

Use filters for more visibility.

The employee occupancy % is based on the number of hours per week in the employment contracts added on OOTI in Costs > wages.

It's done ! 🎉

You have consulted the availabilities and you know how to manage the carts!
