When you drag the Staff Utilisation option from the Toolbox, you see the utilisation graph. This graph shows employee chargeable activity against total time and expected or available hours.

Right-click the display to show the pop-up menu. If you choose Define filter, the Staff Utilisation Grouping Options are displayed.

The filter options are:

  • Define filter where the user can select what criteria to appear on the graph. Click Define filter and the Staff Utilisation Grouping Options window appears. The selections are:
  • YTD: Displays figures for the previous 12 months starting with today's date.
  • Date Range: Enables you to enter a start and end date for the graph for only a 12 month period.
  • Standard Hours or Target Hours: Display the hours from the employee standard or target hours on the Employee Details page: Budget Tab.
  • Cumulative: If the box is left unselected, the graph shows calendar months.
