Select the type of data the report displays for each employee:
-
Hours
-
Cost Amount
-
Billing Amount
-
Revenue
-
Percentage — Select this option to display the ratio of employee actual hours to expected hours for each period, expressed as a percentage. For example, if an employee's expected number of hours for a period is 40 and she works 50 hours, the report displays
125 (125%) for that period.
-
Alerts — To identify deviations from the expected working hours for employees, select this option and enter a percentage in
Standard Utility Percentage. The report displays
OVER for a period for employees whose hours exceed the expected hours by more than the percentage in
Standard Utility Percentage. It displays
UNDER for a period for employees whose hours are less than the expected hours by more than the percentage in
Standard Utility Percentage. (The expected hours are specified in
Hours/Day on the Personal tab of the Employee Info Center.)
If you select
Alerts, also enter a percentage in
Standard Utility Percentage.
If you select
Percentage or
Alerts, Vision takes into consideration the holidays and non-working days in the calendar on the Holiday Configuration form () when it calculates expected hours.
Your access to labor cost rates and amounts may be restricted by role security.

| Standard Utility Percentage
|
If you select
Alerts in
Format, enter a percentage to indicate how far an employee's actual hours can vary from the expected hours before it results in an
UNDER or
OVER alert on the report.
For example, suppose you enter
10 in
Standard Utility Percentage. If the number of expected hours for an employee for a period is 100 hours, and that employee only works 85 hours, the report displays
UNDER for that period. The actual hours are more than ten percent less than the expected hours. If the employee works 95 hours, the report displays
OK for the period. The actual hours are less than the expected hours, but the variance is only five percent. If the employee works 112 hours, the report displays
OVER for the period because the actual hours are over ten percent more than the expected hours.
If you do not enter a percentage, the report displays
UNDER or
OVER for any variance from the expected hours.

|
Select this check box if you want Vision to include plan probabilities when it calculates plan amounts.

| Only Include Plans Marked for Utilization and Project Reports
|
If you select this option, the report includes only those plans that you select in the Plan Lookup dialog box for which the

|
| Only Include Mapped Plans
|
Select this option to only include plans that are mapped to projects.
To map a plan to a project, you connect a plan's elements to existing or to-be-created projects, phases, and tasks. As you charge actual time and expenses to the project, Vision automatically updates your plan with those hours and amounts.
