From the 8.44 version of BigPicture, BigPicture Enterprise isn’t required to set custom coloring rules in the box type configuration.

Default coloring rules

New Resources module view

In the new Resources module view, new coloring rules are applied to:

  • Individuals, projects, and skills:

    • Green - utilization under 100%

    • Red - utilization is above 100%

  • Teams:

    • Green - 0% to 80% utilization

    • Yellow - 80 to 101% utilization

    • Red - 101% or higher utilization

To learn more, see the Coloring rules - workload vs capacity page.

Old Resources module view

The following coloring rules apply in the old Resources module view. To learn more, see the Coloring rules - workload vs capacity (old Resources module view) page.

Out of the box, when the workload is:

  • Less than 75% of the capacity, the bar will change to green color (under-allocation).

  • Between 75% and 100% of the capacity, the bar will change to an orange color (moderate allocation).

  • Over 100% of the capacity, the bar will change to red color (overallocation).

Custom settings

Custom settings are created per box type. Make sure that all the box types you use have been set up correctly. Coloring rules are automatically applied to all boxes of a given type.

You can define custom coloring rules for all scope types - own-scope, sub-scope, and none-scope boxes.

To define the levels and colors of the grid in the Resources module:

  1. Go to Administration > Box types > click on a selected box type > Resources > Coloring rules.

Manage coloring rules

The beginning of a range automatically becomes the end of the previous range.

Click the Edit icon to make changes. Only the beginning value of a range can be edited.

Outcome - edge values

The end value of a range doesn't belong to it (when it is also the start of another range).

Example: When the value is 75%, the assigned color is yellow.

See the table for more information.

Values from 0 to <50 are green:

Values from 75 to <100 are orange:

Limitations

  • There always must be at least two rows left. It is impossible to delete all existing rows.

  • The beginning of the first range is always "0". The end of the last range is always infinity.
