The demand report compares upcoming demand for roles against the capacity of staff in those roles to show you when you need to hire or when you need to pursue additional work.

This report reflects capacity for the selected Default Roles. Default Roles are the primary Roles assigned to members on the Org Settings > Members > All Members tab.

Note: Members can have additional roles assigned for informational purposes, but these non-default roles are not considered in this report. Only the member's default role determines their inclusion in the capacity calculation for this report.

Team

Provide you with a visual overview of the demand all roles (or selected roles) over a period of time.

  • Unassigned - include/exclude Work Plans assigned to Generic Resources

  • Tentative - include/exclude Tentative Plan

  • Use the date filter to view Demand for the next 12 weeks or the next 12 months, ensuring if you need to hire that you have a sustained need for that new hire, or see when demand peaks.

  • You can view the role demand report by hours or FTE (full time equivalent) headcount. FTE headcount will show you demand in terms of how many employees it would take to handle current demand.

    Filtering of the members and projects is completed for ALL REPORTS, and making it easy to  drill down on the data you need. In the coming months you will even be able to save multiple filter settings to access various filter settings instantly!
