Utilization Graph
The Utilization tab displays in graph and table format, the department’s or resource’s daily percent utilization during the past five days (the default date range), or during a date range that you select. The top section of the tab displays the name of the department or resource and its description, and provides you with two Date fields that you can use to change the date range of the graph.

The Utilization graph displays as a percentage the hours the department or resource was actually used compared to the hours it was available to be used. It shows the daily percent utilization of the resources within the selected department, or of a particular resource across all departments, depending on whether you chose to view a department or a department/resource when you launched the workstation.

The utilization formula is: Utilization = Actual Hours / Available Hours.

The default view for the graph displays information for the last five working days, however, you can change the date range (you are restricted to dates in the past). If you change the graph dates, you use the Redraw Graph button to refresh (update) the display.
The following information on the graph is also displayed in a table below the graph:
• Date: a day in the selected date range (the default date range is the last five working days)
• Actual Hours: the actual hours charged
• Available Hours: the hours defined in Bills of Material resource definitions
• Utilization Percent (%): Actual Hours / Available Hours
