Utilization Engine

The Utilization Engine performs real-time utilization calculations based on schedule and work-calendar. With the Utilization engine, resource planners can have accurate availability data to search against for real-time staffing. Utilization Engine calculations are performed per resource, per year, to summarize availability per day for an entire year.

Note:

Your administrator can schedule utilization calculation jobs using the Utilization Engine through the PSA Administration tab.
