About Utilization Calculations
PSA categorizes time in three ways:
- Calendar: the amount of time that resources are expected to work.
- Scheduled: the amount of time resources are scheduled to work.
- Actual: the amount of time resources have logged against assignments and/or project tasks on their timecard.
Utilization calculations cover a specific time range:
- The historical range includes actual information and historical schedule information.
- The scheduled range does not yet include actual information.
- You can set the cut-off date to allow for missing timecards. See for more information.
Utilization calculations support compliance reporting where you can analyze the information in utilization fields to determine whether utilization is being achieved and what to do when it's not.
