Resource Utilization Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to set up an alert to notify specified employees when employee scheduled percentages or utilization percentages based on planned hours exceed, or fall short of, percentage thresholds that you specify for the alert.

This alert only applies to the following types of projects:
  • Projects assigned to a won stage.
  • Projects assigned to an in pursuit stage if Vantagepoint is configured to include them using the Include Projects in an In Pursuit Stage in Scheduled and Utilization Calculations setting on the Plan Settings form (Settings > Resource Planning > Plan Settings.)
  • Projects with either the Overhead or Promotional charge type. (These projects are always included in scheduled calculations but are excluded from utilization calculations.)

You can use the Select Projects field to further restrict the projects to which the alert applies.

If the alert is active, it is triggered by the process server when the alert criteria are met for any of the alert rules. Note that, unlike for other alerts, you cannot enable or disable individual alert rules. If the alert is active, all rules are enabled.
