Demand Information

 

The Demand Information is displayed in the My Time Calendar. The Demand Information is a short-hand version of the demand which is in the Time Management Tab > Planning+ or in the Demand Tab. This option applies to display in the My Time Calendar view as the Demand Bars with number of employees that are working on one job at one time.


The Demand Bars upload its data from the Schedule module, and this allows you to easily compare the number of employees that are working on one action at one time. The colours of the Demand Bars match the colour-coding in the Schedule module, and are an invaluable tool to keep your staffing numbers running smoothly.

 

The demand can be represented by three values, such as below 0, 0 or over 0.

It is giving you information about demand, such as


1. Anything below 0 value shows you are under-staffed for that given time;
2. Anything over 0 value, you are over-staffed;
3. 0 value means you have perfectly planned the demand.


If you select The Demand Information Tab, your Demand ToolTip Information will look like this

The Demand Information window appears as a ToolTip when you hover your mouse over the Demand Bar. This window shows you the minimum range of Demand for a particular job, and also an at-a-glance view of the staff numbers working at that particular time. At the end we have an amount of demand (under-staffed or over-staffed).

As you can see above, on the 04.03.2013 between 05:00-08:00 for job Decorate, there is a minimum staff Demand of 1, and at that time, we have 0 staff members at present work, our demand value is equal -1. We are under-staffed for Decorating.
