The columns on the Resource Assignments grid display the job-to-date, baseline, estimate-to-complete (ETC), and estimate-at-completion (EAC) hours associated with each resource.
Contents
The lowest level of the
Level/Resource column displays any named or generic resources assigned to the project, phase, or task.
- Named resources are existing employees who work for your firm. Job-to-date hours always display for each named resource.
- Use generic resources as placeholders to represent resource assignments in a plan when you are not sure which named resources will be used.
Resources who have posted or unposted charges on the project, but do not have planned hours, are listed with resources who do have planned hours. They are saved in the plan even if no ETC hours are assigned.
Hours in the Resource Assignments grid are formatted based on the
Hours Decimal Digit
setting in Vision's Plan Settings. If you use the Vision Multicompany feature, the hours decimal setting is from the Plan Settings of the company to which the project belongs.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Resource
|
This column displays the resource name. Resources are sorted alphabetically, with generic resources first. Named resources follow, and are sorted by last name.
|
| Baseline
|
This column displays the resource's baseline hours for the plan. The baseline acts as a snapshot of the plan at a certain point in time that you wish to save for comparison purposes.
If the project’s plan does not have a baseline version saved, this column is blank. If the plan has a baseline version, this column displays the number of hours estimated for the resource on the current project, phase, or task at the time the baseline version of the plan was saved.
Calculation: Baseline = Baseline planned hours for plans in utilization
If a project is mapped on multiple Vision plans that have the
Include in utilization and project report
option selected, the Navigator totals are the combined value of the plans.
|
| Resource JTD
|
This column displays the job-to-date hours through today for employees on the project, phase, or task. Posted and unposted hours are included.
Calculation: JTD = Posted and unposted hours through today
|
| Resource ETC
|
This column displays the estimate-to-complete hours for the resource on the current project, phase, or task. This is the number of hours required from tomorrow through the end of the plan to complete work on this project, phase, or task element.
Calculation: ETC = Planned hours from tomorrow forward for plans in utilization
|
| Resource EAC
|
This column displays the sum of the job-to-date hours and the estimate-to-complete hours for the resource on the current project, phase, or task element.
Calculation: EAC = JTD posted and unposted hours through today + ETC hours from tomorrow forward for plans in utilization
|
| Notes
|
Enter notes related to the Vision Navigator project, phase, or task element. When you delete a note, the note is removed from the plan but it is not deleted from the database because it is attached to the WBS identifier. The note is deleted when you remove the WBS ID from the project through Vision.
