Resource availability
You must create and specify details of a Resource Availability definition to simulate resource utilization (see Simulating resource utilization). The Resource Availability definition determines the amount of roles that will become available for a particular Shifts.
Simulation properties
Shifts
Select which type of shift the role will work.
See Shifts.
Roles used as resources in simulation
Supply which roles are to become available for the selected shift.
See Roles used as resources in simulation.
Simulating Resource Utilization
How many roles will become available for a particular shift.
See Simulating resource utilization.
Allowances
Represents the amount of time allowed to finish a process after the shift is completed.
