Service Resource Hours Distribution Options Service Resource Hours Distribution in 7.14 Caleb
Service resource hours have been updated to allow your team to either manually set the resource hours or distribute the time evenly across the resources.
Service Resource Hour options:
Distribute Evenly Based on Service Hours & Crew Size
Enter Custom per Employee or Equipment
Distribute Evenly Based on Service Hours & Crew Size
This option will factor in the number of employees & equipment on the crew and the total hours to complete the service to divide them evenly across each resource.
Note: adjusting the hours and saving will revert back to distribute evenly timing.
For example: if there are 20 hours and 5 employees working, Distribute Based on Service Hours will give 4 scheduled hours to each employee.
