You can only make changes here if your login profile allows you to set system defaults. If not, these details are only available to view.
Determine if the settings made here are to apply to everyone who accesses the resource plan or only to members of your login group.
For all options available for display on the resource plan, determine the colors that are shown to indicate the various statuses and utilizations. Do this by clicking on the existing color and then selecting another from the displayed color swatch or by keying in its hexadecimal value. Only the Allocation Status needs to be shown on the plan and others can be selected by checking the appropriate box.
For the various Utilization categories, you can create as many as you require by clicking to add further rows. For each row, specify an ascending value range for the indicated colors. Productive capacity is only available if enabled through Strategic Planning settings.
