AssignmentHoursVarianceAction

Analyses the supplied assignment records to produce high variance and low variance analysis, predicted hours variance, and recommended hour adjustments over a number of weeks. Supply the assignment record IDs in objectIds, and the number of weeks to analyse in numberOfWeeks. Use this action when a user asks how assignments are tracking against their scheduled hours, whether they are trending toward high or low variance from plan, the predicted variance at the current rate, or what hour adjustments are recommended. This action performs the analysis only; it does not retrieve assignment data, so obtain the assignment record IDs from the assignment retrieval action first and pass them in.
