The Resource capacities application presents the work plan of a selected resource. It allows the user to manage resource availability. Also, it makes it possible to add, edit, and remove production shifts.
The application is composed of:
- Header – it contains the base data of edited resources
- Work pane – it makes it possible to edit resource working time
Header
The header toolbar contains the [New] button that opens a new form.
Also, the header contains the following fields:
- Resource (required) – a resource or resource group whose capacity is to be edited
- Date – a period within which capacity is to be edited
Work pane
The work pane contains the following buttons:
- [New times] – it allows adding new working time intervals for production changes. To add a new interval, select a given table line item with a defined production shift.
- [New shift] – it allows adding a new production shift, e.g. adding a shift on Saturday. Adding a shift is not possible if shift times overlap or if a given production shift has already been defined for a given day.
- [Details] – it expands the view of production shifts, presenting exact working times on a given day and relevant shifts
- [Total] – it displays the total value of the Duration column in the bottom part of the work pane
- [Set/remove deletion marker] – it sets/removes a deletion marker for a given production shift. A shift is deleted after saving the capacity data.

Data displayed depends on the organization for which the user works and a calendar assigned to this organization in the application Customizing → Base → General → Company calendar type.
