Viewing Net Availability in Capacity Planner

The Net Availability section of the Capacity Planner gives you summary information about the available hours of resource types, based on the total number of hours (determined by the number of enterprise users assigned to that resource type) minus the number of requirement hours listed for workspaces and requests in Capacity Planner. Note: There is no indication of total number of resource type hours. The value shown is the remaining (net) resource type hours available.

Capacity Planner options affecting Net Availability totals:

Selected resource types—All selected resource types are included in the Net Availability calculations. Any excluded resource types are not used for Net Availability totals. To select or exclude resources, click Select Resource Types. For more information, see Selecting Resource Types.
Visible Workspaces—Workspaces whose resource requirements are not "hidden" from Net Availability calculations are included in those calculations. Hide or reveal workspace requirements by clicking Toggle Net Availability from the Actions icon. By default, all Unplanned workspaces are hidden. For more information, see Toggling Net Availability.
Custom Views—Net Availability calculations include only workspaces included in the current custom view. Select or remove workspaces from the current view by editing the current custom view (click More Views and Edit Current View). For more information, see About Capacity Planner Custom Views.

Note: Net Availability totals are also impacted by any applicable nonworking time. For more information, see About Personal Nonworking Time.

Net Availability is displayed as either a table (the default) or a chart. Switch between the two views using the Show as list.

In the table view, resource types from included workspaces are listed, along with their net availability based on the requirements specified in the upper half of the Capacity Planner. Negative availability is shown as negative numbers in red.

In the chart view, resource types from included workspaces are show in a bar chart, with one bar for each month or week shown. A bar represents the capacity demand for a given time period, and each resource type is indicated by a color-coded layer in the bar. A waterline mark indicates the total available capacity for each time slice.

Note: Resource types that are not selected are still listed in the chart legend but do not appear in the chart itself.
