Resources Fields

The following fields are displayed:

Field		Description
% Availability		The percentage availability value for each resource. This value is calculated from a resource’s scheduled hours in the search period [Start Date and End Date fields in the PSA Resource Filter Lightning component] divided by available hours based on the resource's work calendar multiplied by 100. Whole numbers are displayed. When a resource is completely available, 100 is displayed. If a resource is utilized, 100 decreases until 0 is displayed. When a resource is over-allocated, a negative value is displayed. When availability data is not available for a resource, the value is blank. For example, when the start and end dates are in the past.
