A special icon is placed on resource rows representing a pool of resources.

Click on the resource name to go directly to the selected resource.

Closed allocation

Closed allocation

Closed allocation are indicated with a gray background.

Allocation rate

The allocation rate on the resource calculates the percentage of allocation to be taken into account for the planning according to the calendar of the resource.

For example, if the resource has a standard France calendar, then the resource works 5 days a week.

  • His assignment rate on the project is 100%, the resource can be scheduled without a ceiling and can possibly work on this project up to 5 days a week.

  • His assignment rate on the project is 50%, so the resource can be scheduled for a maximum of 2.5 days per week on this project.

  • His assignment rate on the project is 20% so the resource can be scheduled for a maximum of 1 day per week on the project

Replace resource

  • Replace resource on an allocation: all tasks assigned will be transferred to the new resource with assigned and left work.

  • Work done on tasks still belongs the old resource.

Dialog box - Replace allocation

Replace allocation dialog window

Assignment section

This section allows to manage assignment of resources to tasks.

Assigning a resource to a task allows you to define its function on the latter and its daily cost (if defined when creating the resource) according to the workload you assign to it.

assignment section

Assignment section

The responsible is added in the assignments automatically if no resource is assigned.

If actual work exists for a mission, it cannot be deleted by default. It is possible to delete it by assigning specific access on deletion.

An icon Pool of resources is placed on resource rows representing a pool of resources.

A resource can be assigned in the table without having a workload.

A resource that defers a task because it does not have the necessary availability and its planned assignment date is greater than the committed date then the remaining assigned work field turns red for this resource.

Assignment management

  • Click on Purge the assigments to delete the assignments without assigned work

  • Click on Delete to delete all the assignments

  • Click on Add to assign a new resource.

  • Click on Team to assign an entire team to the activity

  • Click on Organization to assign an entire organization to the activity

  • Click on Pool of resources to assign a pool of resources to the activity

  • Click on Button edit to modify the assignment.

  • Click on Delete to delete the assignment.

  • Click on Split to divide the assignment (two equal parts between two resources)

  • Click on icon goto to go directly to the allocation sheet for this resource. You may have this button at the top of the assignment area if you are assigned to the item yourself.

  • Click on the name of the resource to access the details on the resource screen.

Automatic assignment

When you toggle the button switch automatic assignment of the project team, the project allocations are automatically added to the assignment table.

New assignment

Dialog box - Assignment

Assignment dialog box

Assignment rate

The assignment rate on the resource calculates the percentage of assignment to take into account for the planning according to the FTE of the resource.

For example, if the resource has an FTE of 1 then the resource works the whole day.

  • Its assignment rate on the activity is 100%, the resource may be planned without a ceiling and may possibly work full days on this project.

  • Its activity assignment rate is 50%, so the resource can be planned for a maximum of 0.5 per day.

  • Its assignment rate on the activity is 20% so the resource can be planned 0.2 per day at most.

Multiple assignment to a task

  • A resource can be assigned more than once to a task.

  • Allows to assign the resource to the same task with a different function (different daily cost).

  • Allows to add extra work without modifying initial assignment.

Automatic assignment to a task

You can automatically assign the entire project team (all the resources assigned to the project) to a given activity.

This assignment is dynamic, when you add a resource to the project it is automatically added to the activity.

  • Switch the button to automatically assign the ressources of the project to the activity.

  • The entire project team will be added to the assignment table.

  • We only take into account the resources assigned directly to the project of the activity, not the parent project,

  • The allocation must not be closed

  • The assignment function is the default function of the resource

  • Rated load is zero

  • Assignment rate is 100%

Important

Only Resources assigned to the project are assigned, not users or contacts who are not also resources.

  • If you remove a resource from the assignment, that resource is not removed from the project.

  • Automatic assignment does not generate duplicates. If a resource already exists in the assignments, its assignment is not duplicated.

  • On the other hand, if the assignment is closed it will be reopened (if the activity is not itself closed).

  • If the allocation of the resource on the project is deleted or closed then the assignment on the activity is automatically closed so that resources can no longer be attributed to the activity even if the resource has work remaining.

Note

When this option is unchecked, the assignments will not be deleted (there is no way to know if the assignment was generated dynamically or manually). Only the automation for newly assigned Resources will be disabled.

Recurrent mode assignment

The recurring planning mode is the only mode that, by default, covers the entire duration of the project.

If the project is lengthened, then the task in recurring mode will lengthen accordingly.

Recurring assignment

Recurring assignment

During the assignment, you distribute the workload of your resource on a weekly basis.

You can enter a different value for each day of the week.

The copy is an accelerator to copy the entered value on Monday every other day.

The total load will be calculated after validation according to the duration of your project and the assigned times.

Warning

It is a priority planning method.

Using this mode can add a significant workload!.

Planned Interventions assignment

The assigned workload is no longer determined but will be entered on a calendar which can be clicked, per half-day.

Manual planning calendar

  • Click on Add to add a new assignment.

  • To see the workload distribution table, select the resource and confirm. Then click on the edit button.

  • If the assignment already exists, click directly on the Button edit.

  • The calendar will then be displayed in the assignment window..

  • The display starts in the current month and spans the next six months.

  • Each box is divided into two half days. The assigned work is then automatically the sum of the selected half-days.

Assigment with the Manual planning mode

Assigment with the Manual planning mode

The workload saved in this window will be displayed to the planned interventions screen.

Distribution of the workload for a new assignment

  • click on a box to enter a workload.

    Depending on the global parameter, this workload will be either planned work or real work.

  • Each day is represented by two half-days (am and pm)

  • You can plan for the 6 months following the date of the assignment

  • The half-days filled in will be visible on the screen of planned interventions

  • Save this data with the save button

Activity on real time

When you check the activity option at the time spent on an activity then several fields will no longer be accessible and a recalculation of the load will be carried out:

  • Recalculation of the rated load = revised load when modifying the remainder to be done

  • Recalculation of the remainder to be done = rated load - actual load when changing the assigned load. This is the existing operation in all cases

  • Prohibition to modify the assigned load to a value lower than the actual load. You will then have a blocking message

Treatment section

This section contains information on the treatment of articles, ie on the life and progress of the element.

It usually contains status information, macro reports, situations or those responsible for the work of this element.

Treatment section

Macro status

The macros states work thanks to levers.

Several states are populated directly based on the information you record.

in progress

The field is filled in when you fill in the first charge on your timesheet.

Please note, the date recorded in the in progress field is the date on which the charge is entered and not the day on which it is entered.

Done

The field is filled in when you fill in the last charge on your timesheet.

The remaining time MUST therefore be at 0 for this field to be completed.

Closed

The field is filled in when you close an element.

On activities, meetings, test sessions, and poker sessions that are closed, the “show closed” option for the assignment is always considered enabled.

Cancelled

The field is filled in when you cancel the element via the status of your workflow

Other options

ProjeQtOr offers you several options to build your projects, protect them, or even pause them depending on the hazards you may encounter.

Fix planning

  • The project is never re-calculated.

  • It means the planning will always be the same whatever you do on other projects.

Important

This may lead to dependencies unconsistency.

Paused

  • Available on projects and activities.

  • The planning is never recalculated.

  • Unlike “fix planning”, the current planning for the project is erased.

  • This is used to postpone the project to an undetermined date.

Non extendable project

  • You can’t add new elements to this project,

  • You can’t delete elements from this project.

  • You can’t move elements from/to this project.

Under construction

  • The resource don’t see it on timesheet.

  • The alerts are not generated

  • Emails are not sent.

Exclude from global plan

  • Do not show the not plannable items for this project on the global planning view.

  • This means that only “standard” planning items will be displayed. Excluding actions, decisions, deliveries…

Validated work treatment

  • Activates treatment of the validated work based on the sum of the work of the project orders.

  • Otherwise it will be calculated on the sum of the validated work of the activities

Working hours

Planning mode

Planned

The planned dates can be initialized with validated dates or requested dates (whether validated dates are not specified). They are determined during the planning calculation.

The planning calculation is done according to tasks assigned to resources and their predecessors.

These dates are calculated according to the many constraints that you have defined (FTE, Rates, Dependencies, Charges, priorities, availability …).

If the dates entered in the validated dates are lower than the dates calculated by the software - the planned dates, then the planned end date box is red as well as the bar of the Gantt chart corresponding to the element then reflects a possible delay.

planned dates greater than validated dates

The planned dates are greater than validated dates

Important

The planned dates are calculated by the software. You do not have the possibility to change these dates manually.

Real

These are the dates of work actually carried out. The work actually charged

The real start date is set when work began (In progress).

The real end date is set when no more remaining work (done).

Note

The real start date will be propagated to parent elements up to project.

The real end date for parent element will be initialized, when all sub-element have been completed.

The real work is actually being done. It is filled via the timesheet screen.

The items containing actual work cannot be deleted.

To enable this, you must first remove the actual work or configure the forced deletion in the specific access.

Requested

Allows you to define forecast dates. These are generally the dates agreed with your client or the beneficiary of your activity..

Unless they are the only indicated, these dates have no impact on the planning.

If no validated date is specified and no constraints are applied then they can initialize the planned dates.

Duration

The durations correspond to the number of days between the start and end dates.

These are always integer values, without decimals!

They are calculated automatically.

But you can also enter a start date and a number of whole days, the end date will be automatically calculated.

Costs and workload

The cost of resources is calculated thanks to the workload allocated to each resource on the tasks.

You must fill in a function associated with a daily cost for your resources.

See also

Function and cost on the resources screen

Validated

Allows to define planned work and budgeted cost of resources.

This work value is used for calculation of the expected progress and project margin (work).

The cost value is used for calculation of project margin (cost).

Note

Project

The values of work and cost can be initialized with the sum of total work and amount of all project orders.

See also

Incomes

Assigned

Sum of planned work assigned to resources and estimated cost.

Real

Sum of work done by resources and cost incurred.

Left work should be re-evaluated by resource while entering the real work on real work allocation screen.

Left work can also be changed on assignment, at project management level.

Reassessed

Sum of resource total work that will be needed from start to end and the ensuing costs.

[Reassessed] = [Real] + [Left]

Work on tickets

  • Sum of work done on tickets and costs is included in work of activity linked through the “planning activity” of tickets.

  • Sum of work done on tickets that don’t link to any activity will be integrated in the work of the project.

Expense tracking

This section is used by Project.

See also

Project reserve

Note

Total is the sum of resources cost, expenses and reserve of their corresponding column.

Technical Progress

The Technical Progress section allows you to display an advancement in units of work.

Technical progress section

Technical progress section

Warning

To display the technical progression section, which corresponds to an advancement in Unit of Work, you must position the option in the global parameters.

The section technical progress is displayed on Project and Activity screen.

You determine the number of units of work to be performed on the activity.

The progress and the rest will be consolidated towards the father project and / or the mother activity.

You can display the progress of completing your work units directly on the Gantt bars in the same way as the actual work.

Number of units

As for the dates and durations, you can enter several values for the realization of your units of works.

To delivred

Number of units to be delivered.

To realise

Number of units to be produced.

Realised

Number of units actually produced.

Progress

For advancement in unit of work, you can choose the way so it will be evaluated.

Calculated

Progress as a percentage is calculated by software.

Manual

You define yourself the progress of the realization of your units of works.

Weight

The weight defines a certain importance on the realization of these units.

It determines how the calculation of the progress of the work units will be calculated and consolidated.

If items have weight = 0, instead of not calculating consolidate technical progress, calculated with weight = 1 for all items.

Manual

You enter a value manually according to the unit of work to be done.

Unity of work

It is the number of units to deliver or to realize.

Steering

Progress

Percentage of actual progress.

Calculated by the sum of the work done divided by sum of work reassessed.

[Progress %] = [real work] / [reassessed work]

= [real work] / ( [real work] + [left work] )

Expected

Percentage of expected progress.

Calculated by the sum of the work done divided by scheduled work.

[Expected %] = [real work] / [validated work]

Priority

Allows to define priority to a project or activity.

By default, the value is set to “500” (medium priority).

1 being the highest priority and 999 the lowest priority.

Steering section Activity

Steering section on Project screen

Steering section on activity screen

Advancement

You can monitor the effectiveness of the progress of your project based on the data entered upstream on the validated dates.

Planning mode

Used by Activity & Test session.

Depending on the planning mode selected, the calculation of your planning will not be executed in the same way.

Minimum threshold and indivisible work

When this value is set, the activity will only be scheduled on the day that the daily availability will be greater than or equal to this threshold.

You also have the option to add a new property to a “not splitted work” task.

This will require defining the minimum work to be allocated each day and thus filling in the minimum threshold field.

Planning will require finding consecutive days with at least the given value possible.

Fix planning

Fix planning will avoid the recalculation of planning for an activity.

Paused

When an activity is paused, it is never recalculated.

Unlike fix the planning, the current schedule for the project is purged.

This amounts to postponing the activity to an undetermined date.

When this option is checked, the option fix the planning is automatically checked.

Activity on real time

When you check the option possibility of managing activities on real time in the global parameters then the validated load becomes read-only and the calculation of the validated load equals the revised load.

The option can be disabled manually even if it has been set to the activity type.

The option is incompatible with activities managed by “Work Units” (turnover module).

The field will then not be visible and the “Unit of work”, “complexity” and “quantity” fields will be hidden if the “activity over time” option is activated.

It will therefore be necessary to deactivate the option to make these fields reappear.

Planning activity

Planning activity field allows to link the ticket with a planning activity

Calculated by the scheduled work minus the sum of work reassessed.

[Margin] = [Validated work] - [Reassessed work]

[Margin(%)] = ([Validated work] - [Reassessed work]) / [Validated work]

Margin (cost)

Calculated by the budgeted cost (resource & expense) minus the total of reassessed cost.

[Margin] = [Validated cost] - [Reassessed cost]

[Margin(%)] = ([Validated cost] - [Reassessed cost]) / [Validated cost]

Progress section Milestone

Steering section on milestone screen

Steering section on milestone screen

This section allows to define planning and follow progress on a milestone.

The requested dates allows to define the initial due date for the milestone. They have no impact on planning.

The validated dates allows to define the due date at which the milestone must be completed.

Actual dates are determined when the milestone status is “done”.

Fixed milestone

  • Planned due date is the value from validated due date field.

  • The milestone will not move, and may have successors.

Floating milestone

  • Calculation of planned due date takes into account dependencies with tasks.

  • The milestone will move depending on predecessors.

Note

A milestone has no duration, so there are no start and end dates for a milestone, just a single date.

The history

Most manipulations and modifications are recorded in the history, such as validated and assigned dates, information on assignments to projects, assignments to activities, durations, but also all personalization information.

The history will not trace the creation and configuration of indicators, connection audits or the entry of work (imputation sheet).

On the other hand, in the case where the entry of the work leads to modifications on elements such as dates, durations… then this information will be well updated.
