Understand the Workload Planner layout

The Workload Planner shows a list of users on your site with a scrollable timeline view of scheduled work compared to available capacity. 

Capacity reflects available working hours after accounting for unavailable time and optional filters such as logged time or completed tasks. 

Each user row shows the user's name, profile icon, associated company, and workload for the period shown. 
  • Expand an individual user's workload using the chevron icon to the left of their name to view related projects, tasks, milestones, and unavailable time. 
  • Use Expand All or Collapse All in the top right to show or hide workload details for all users. 
  • Click Today to return to the current date view. 
  • Use the horizontal scroll bar to move through the timeline and the vertical scroll bar to view additional users.
