Overview of Utilization Analytics
Utilization Analytics provides data on your organization's utilization with capabilities to process large data sets. It is a new and improved method of calculating and visualizing Utilization. It leverages Salesforce Queueable Architecture, providing quicker computation of data as well as handling of larger data volumes. You can use Analytics to visualize the utilization data by leveraging its real time data aggregation and slicing capabilities.
Generating Utilization Results for Use in Analytics
The Utilization Analytics dashboard uses data from the Utilization Result object in PSA. Utilization result records are created when you configure and start (or schedule) a utilization run. They show a resource's billable, credited, time excluded, non-billable, utilization excluded, held resource request and calendar hours.

Visualizing Utilization Results in Analytics

The Utilization Analytics dashboard can also be displayed on any page within PSA.
If needed, utilization results data can also be visualized in Salesforce reports in low volume environments.
