Staff Members Workload Report

The Staff Members Workload report presents the staff members workload by period and by roles based on the issues due dates. To access this report, click on the Report tab (or hit '6') and then click on the 'View report' button next to the Staff Members workload report preview. This will bring up the report with the today's date as the default start (From) and end (To) date.  The report will be automatically refreshed when one of its parameters changes.

If an issue does not have a due date, Tempo Budgets will take the end date of the folio as a fallback.

Since the issue scheduling of this report is based on the due dates, the remaining estimates issues may overlap multiple periods.

E.g.: Issue with a due date on January 31 with a remaining working time of 70 hours. When selecting weekly report period, the issue remaining time will be dispatched over two periods as show below:

  1. From January 19 to January 25                     : 30h
  2. From January 26 to February 1st (due date period) : 40h

Note that remaining hours dispatching take into account the regular hours per days and non working days specified in Folio Configuration.

Configuring the report

To change the period covered by the report, simply set the dates in the From and To fields to whatever dates you want.  The actual period considered will span from the latest of today's date and the date entered in From field. You can specify which frequency the report should use to break down the overall period. For example, selecting Monthly frequency will show you the workload broken down by calendar months. Select Total frequency to get the staff members workload for the whole period, with no break down. You can finally limit the workload considered to a certain number of roles and/or members.  Simply select/deselect the member you are interested in and the report will be instantly refreshed to reflect the new selection.  Selecting or deselecting a role will cause the list of available members to be updated accordingly. See the table below for detailed information about report parameters.
