How is utilisation calculated in Metis?
Utilisation is a key metric indicating how much of someone's time is being spent on client work vs non client work. Each individual in Metis has a utilisation percentage, if they meet the below criteria:
- they are marked as Available in Resourcing
- they are Active
- they are not a Freelancer
- they are marked as counts towards utilisation
This is calculated for an individual as:
Qualifying utilised hours
Available hours
What are qualifying utilised hours defined as?
These are the hours which are counted towards utilisation, which can be defined as hours:
- Booked on days that do count towards utilisation (not public holidays/weekends (depending on your company settings))
- Booked against either a:
- Client job
- Internal job marked as "count to utilisation"
- Approved (by the assigned approver)
TIP - For deactivated users, utilisation is calculated only for the period for when they are active again.
What are available hours defined as?
Available hours for a person are counted only when they are on days which are:
- Days that do count towards utilisation (not public holidays and after the company's Cutover Date)
- On or after the person's start date. Whichever is earlier of:
- The date they became active on Metis
- The date of their earliest time booked.
An individual's available hours are defined by:
