nVironment™ displays the daily utilization of resources in a bar chart form across the schedule horizon from current day. The bar chart has the percent utilization on the left (y-axis) and the time periods on bottom (x-axis). Once the bar chart loads you can then zoom in and back out via the mouse scroll wheel and can “drag” the bar chart to a specific time period. We have also provided the ability to filter for specific resources and for a specific time period within the horizon.
1. On the Home screen you will see the nVironment™ widget and can toggle:
a. from “Most” utilized to “Least” utilized

Click on the widget to bring up details
2. The nVironment™ screen loads with defaults of:
a. Most-utilized for all resources and the horizon set for the last scheduled task, limited to a year out
