Capacity warnings when you assign work
What the overload note means when you assign a task or allocate team hours, and how to pick someone with more room.
When you assign someone to a task with dates, or allocate team hours in the new-project wizard, Techstyles checks whether it would overload them.
Steps
- Assign a person and set the dates on a task, or allocate team hours in the new-project wizard.
- If they would be overloaded, a note appears next to the field. Serious warnings are shaded.
- Under Who else could take it:, each name shows that person's peak load if they took the work instead. Click a name to assign them.
Good to know
- The warning is advice only. You can still save.
- Suggestions are "Ranked on workload only. This does not assess skill."
- Warnings appear for admins and managers. Members do not see them.
