Measure types
The following measure types are available.
Allocations
The Allocations measure measures the allocated or free time for a user over a period of time. For this to work, you must also select a user dimension.
Options
| Option | Select to: |
|---|---|
| Select time period | Set a time period to include and select whether to include allocated time or free time. The Select time period dialog box opens. Select the Time period and Allocation, and then click OK. Allocated time for a user is the number of hours allocated to the user in the specified time period, only considering item that pass the chart and measure filters. Free time for a user is the total available time the user has during the specified time period minus any scheduled tasks that do not pass the chart and measure filters. Think of this as the time the user has available to work on tasks passing the chart and measure filters. The allocated time for a user is the number of hours allocated to that user in the chosen time period, only considering tasks that passed the chart and measure filter. |
