Employee Card Dialog Box

Use the Employee Card dialog box to review relevant information about employees as you consider them for assignment to projects. That information includes general information about the employee, skills and credentials, current assignments, and the projects that they are working on now or worked on in the past.

Location

To display the Employee Card dialog box, complete the following steps:

1. In the Resource Planning workspace, click to go to Resource View.
2. If necessary, use a search to display, in the grid, the employee for whom you want to review employee information.
3. Click the employee's name.

You can also display the Employee Card dialog box in Project View if you expand the work breakdown structure down to the resource level so the employee's name is visible.

Contents: Skills & Credentials Tab

Use the Skills & Credentials tab of the Employee Card dialog box to review an employee's skills, areas of knowledge or expertise, and credentials.

Field	Description
Skills	These fields describe the employee's skills, knowledge, or expertise. For each skill, Deltek Resource Planning displays skill description, skill level, and skill usage (how long the employee has employed the skill).

If a credential has an expiration date later than the current date or has no expiration date, the credential status is Active.

Contents: Assignments Tab

Use the Assignments tab of the Employee Card dialog box to review all of the employee's assignments that have ETC hours remaining. This is particularly useful for a project manager who is working in Project View but wants to see quickly what current and future assignments an employee has for other projects.

Field	Description
Forecast Range	Click next to Forecast Range to display the Change Forecast Range dialog box and define the range of calendar period columns you want to display in the grid. The following settings determine the forecast range: Scale: Indicate whether the calendar period columns represent days, weeks, or months. Duration: Select the number of calendar period columns in the range. The options vary depending on the scale you select. For example, if you select Weeks in SCALE and 8 in DURATION, the grid displays eight columns, each containing planning data for a week. Start date, week, or month: Select the first day, week, or month in the forecast range. The starting period must be after the JTD date or, if the columns are for weeks or months, contain at least one day after the JTD date. After you select the original start day, week, or month, Deltek Resource Planning automatically shifts the forecast range forward as time passes. When the first calendar period is no longer in the future, Deltek Resource Planning changes the first calendar period column to the next day, week, or month and shifts the other calendar period columns accordingly to preserve the same forecast range.
Show Capacity	Click next to Show Capacity to select the type of values you want to display in the calendar period columns: Planned hours: Planned hours for the calendar period. Schedule percentage: Planned hours for the calendar period / Total available hours for the calendar period. On the Totals row of the grid, cell background color indicates schedule status: gray (properly scheduled), yellow (under-scheduled), red (over-scheduled). Utilization percentage: Billable planned hours for the calendar period / Total available hours for the calendar period. (Billable hours are hours planned for projects that are assigned the Regular charge type.) On the Totals row of the grid, cell background color indicates utilization status: gray (properly utilized), yellow (under-utilized), red (over-utilized).
LEVEL	This column displays the work breakdown structure (WBS) elements for which the employee has ETC hours. Click and to expand or collapse the WBS levels. Click a WBS element to display a tooltip containing the WBS element name and ID, contract start and end dates, project manager, client, project or opportunity name and ID/number (if the WBS element is not the top-level element in the WBS), status, and any notes entered for the WBS element. Click the Open in Project View link in the tooltip to close the Employee Card dialog box and display the resource plan for the project or opportunity in Project View. If displays in this field next to a WBS element, that WBS element is inactive.
ETC BEFORE	This column displays the total ETC hours that exist for dates after the JTD date and before the start date of the first calendar period column in the forecast range. (Generally, the JTD date is the date of the latest historical labor record in the database, but your system administrator can specify a different date.) On the Totals row, this column displays the sum of the employee's ETC hours for dates before the start date of the first calendar period column in the forecast range. If the day following the JTD date falls within the date range for the first calendar period column, no ETC hours exist for dates prior to the forecast range, so this column does not display.
Calendar period columns	The calendar period columns display planned hours for the employee by day, week, or month. The forecast range you specify in the Change Forecast Range dialog box determines the time frame each calendar period column represents. For example, if you select Weeks in SCALE, 8 in DURATION, and July 1, 2016 in START WEEK, the grid displays eight calendar period columns, each column represents a week, and the first calendar period column is for the week that contains July 1, 2016. Using the options in Show Capacity above the grid, you can also display utilization percentages and scheduled percentages for employees in these columns on the Totals row. The values in calendar period columns are calculated and displayed as follows, based on your selection in Show Capacity: Planned hours: Planned hours for the calendar period for the WBS element. The Totals row displays the total planned hours for the employee for the calendar period. Schedule percentage: The Totals row displays the schedule percentage for the employee: Planned hours for the calendar period / Total available hours for the calendar period. Cell background color indicates schedule status: gray (properly scheduled), yellow (under-scheduled), red (over-scheduled). WBS rows display planned hours. Utilization percentage: The Totals row displays the utilization percentage for the employee: Billable planned hours for the calendar period / Total available hours for the calendar period. (Billable hours are hours planned for projects assigned the Regular charge type.) Cell background color indicates utilization status: gray (properly utilized), yellow (under-utilized), red (over-utilized). WBS rows display planned hours. For the WBS level rows, bold values in the calendar columns indicate that the hours for the period are hard booked, and italic values indicate they are either all soft booked or a mix of soft-booked hours and hard-booked hours.
ETC AFTER	This column displays the total ETC hours that exist for dates after the end date of the last calendar period column in the forecast range. On the Totals row, this column displays the sum of the employee's ETC hours for dates after the end date of the last calendar period column in the forecast range.

Contents: Projects Tab

Use the Projects tab of the Employee Card dialog box to review a summary of the actual job-to-date (JTD) hours the employee has charged to projects. Deltek Resource Planning automatically updates these values when you use the API or the Historical Hours import to bring in hours charged to projects.

Field	Description
PROJECT	This column displays the name of the project that the employee charged time to. This is the top level of the work breakdown structure (WBS). Click the name to display a tooltip containing additional project information: contract start date, contract end date, and project manager.
CLIENT	This column displays the name of the client associated with the project.
START	This column displays the first date that the employee charged time to the project.
END	This column displays the last date that the employee charged time to the project.
TOTAL HOURS	This column displays the total number of JTD hours the employee charged to the project, through the current JTD date. Hours charged to lower-level elements of the WBS are rolled up to the top level to get the total hours.
