Silverbucket has multiple resourcing functionalities and some of these are shown directly in the resourcing slots with colors, icons etc.
These are an indicator of tentative allocations, "Soft booking".
Sometimes the tentative allocations are lost in the "real world of confirmed resourcing" so we have implemented a little gray dog ear in the top-right corner to showcase these when viewing in confirmed mode.
There are tentative allocations in the week 21, 22 & 23 resourcing slots
An example of this could be a project that has been archived or not yet started. Another would be a person that has been archived or the person's job hasn't started yet / has already ended.
In this example 'freshUser@email.com' hasn't started working yet
You can add Allocation Notes regarding the resourcing for project's roles. The blue dog ear indicates there is a note written for a specific date.
Allocation notes are distinguished with the blue dog ear
Projects can be highlighted with a project tag to indicate that there is something special about them.
Note: if there are both Allocation Notes (blue dog ear) and Highlighted Projects (black dog ear) in the same resourcing slot, only the Allocation Notes (blue dog ear) are shown.
Example of a highlight project
The dashed/bolded border indicates allocations made for Absence projects.
- Dashed (or "dotted") border indicates the person is 0% - 80% resourced as absent in the corresponding resourcing slot.
- Solid black border indicates the person is 80% - 100% resourced as absent in the corresponding resourcing slot.
Examples of 0-80% (dashed border) and 80-100% (solid border) absences
