Utilization Setup Fields

Here is a description of the fields on a utilization setup record.

Note: We recommend that you keep the threshold values or the value of the Calculate Hours for Threshold Values checkbox consistent across the range of dates if you intend to report on your threshold values for capacity planning. Changing the threshold values or the value of the Calculate Hours for Threshold Values checkbox creates inconsistent data in utilization analytics. If the values are changed, rerun the utilization.
