Labor Planning Homepage

  • Navigating to the Labor Planning Homepage is where the forecast details of a job will be displayed.
  • The toggles at the top of the Labor Planning Homepage will change how much or how little data is displayed in the Headline Metrics bar.
  • They key at the bottom of the Labor Loading graph will indicate what each color/pattern represents.

Hours/Worker Max/Worker Average

  • The Labor Planning Homepage can display data by Hours, Workers (Max) or Workers (Average).
  • Displaying the data by hours will tally how many hours are scheduled to the job each week. (For example: 2 Workers each doing a 40 hour week will display as 80.)
  • Displaying data by Workers (Max) will show the highest number of workers on the job in a week. (For example: If a job has 2 workers scheduled Mon.-Thurs. and 6 workers scheduled on Friday, the number 6 will be displayed.
  • Displaying the data by Workers (Average) will show the average amount of workers on the job in a week. Using the above example of 2 workers Mon.-Thurs. and 6 workers on a Friday, the Average amount of workers that week will be [2+2+2+2+6= 14 / 5 = 2.8]
