What is the Capacity Finder?

The Capacity Finder is a premium extension by Hub Planner. It helps to filter your team schedule based on their availability or utilization over a specified date range. Perfect for capacity planning and forecasting the schedule. You will find the capacity finder via the builder. Alternatively, by clicking the capacity finder icon within the scheduler itself. Let’s take you through some of the FAQ’s you might have about the capacity finder.

Why use the Capacity Finder?

Every resource has a capacity, everyone can be different too. Some resources work part time, full time or different days. When resource scheduling, Hub Planner will help with locating who’s available or showing you who’s at capacity or over scheduled. Using the capacity finder, Hub Planner will detect the resources based on the filters you have chosen.

 

Are there pre-defined capacity planning templates?

Yes, within the scheduler, navigate to the sidebar and then scroll to the Smart Schedules. A dropdown of pre-formatted templates will show you some capacity finder schedule templates. These are simple schedules that have smart filters applied to them.

Available Resources – will show active resources who have availability greater than 0 hours for this month.

Fully Booked Resources – will show active resources who’s availability is equal to zero hours for this month.

Over Utilized Resources – will show active resources who have utilization rate greater than 100% this month.

Under Utilized Resources – will show active resources who have utilization rate less than 100% this month.

 

How do I visualize my bench?

Visualizing your bench helps identify utilization gaps and allocate available time efficiently. By leveraging the capacity finder, underutilized resources can be assigned to internal tasks or new projects, optimizing overall productivity.

Why do I need a Capacity Finder in resource scheduling?

The Capacity Finder is essential for resource scheduling as it shows who’s available by considering each resource’s capacity, work schedule, and vacation time. This real-time data helps in effective capacity planning and resource allocation.

What are Capacity Planning Templates?

Can I save and reuse filtered schedules?
