The Workload chart is a color coded diagram displaying a selected resource’s workload across all projects they are assigned to, including all scheduled unavailabilities.

The Workload Chart is a great tool to identify a resource’s allocation across all projects and whether they are over allocated or have any scheduling conflicts.

By default, there is no resource selected in the "Resource" dropdown list. As soon as a resource is selected, the availability of that resource is displayed.

Note: This operation can take several seconds, depending on the amount of data that needs to be returned.

The Workload chart displays the various unavailabilities for the selected resource.

Selected resource (1).

List of project for selected resource (2). The project names displayed in red are the project having a backlog (see below).

Color-coded workload reservation block (3).

Workload assignments from the current plan are automatically added to the diagram and the availability information.

Note:  Only Workload of projects from the current project database are displayed.

Genius doesn’t automatically re-plan the workload, which should have been completed. However, it will display as a reminder the delayed workload, for instance in the figure above, the project "Test TaskUniqueID from template" has 5.5 days of backlog.

The days of the week that the resource works as well as their percentage of availability (known as the "Global Unavailabilities") are also visible in the diagram. These values are defined in the Resource document. Since this type of unavailability is recurring, it is only displayed within a limited time range. The Global Unavailabilities begin one month before the current date and end at the date of the latest assignment in the future, or at least three months after the current date.

The time scale ( -axis) is synchronized with the time scale of the Gantt Chart. The Y-axis is dynamic and changes according to the data displayed.
