Override Default Capacity

Override Default Capacity

1.0 When Employee Works 5 days a week @ 8 hours per day

In this case we do not need to use ‘override default capacity’.

The employee capacity you enter in the employee record creates the expected capacity for the employee:

This expected capacity is used in JobBag as follows:

• in the active diary

• in Visual Planning

In the following example, the employee is assigned 2 tasks:

Design Layout - 10 hrs from 30 Jan to 4 feb
Concept Development - 3 hrs from 1 Feb 20178 to 4 Feb 2018

In visual planning, it shows his capacity and the amount of assigned time for the tasks.

And in their Active Diary, the assigned tasks have reduced the available capacity left
