The Capacity Grid enables you to get a snap shot of the load by resource, pool or department either by day, week, month or quarter.  Each cell within the grid gives the percentage load for the selected time period.  The cell load is color coded as follows:

1. If greater than 100% (because of infinite loads or schedule board moves to overload a resource) the cell is displayed with yellow text on a red background.
2. If 100% the cell is displayed with white text on a red background.
3. If 90% to 99% the cell is displayed with white text on an orange background.
4. If 80% to 89% the cell is displayed with white text on a brown background.
5. If 79% load or less, the cell is displayed with black text on the regular grid background color.

The example window below shows the resource load by week starting on the week of August 23, 2021:
