Allocation band checker
Planners argue about the edges, not the middle. Four hours booked and four free reads as a busy half day to one manager and an idle one to another. Named bands settle it, and this checker uses the four PeopleMuster's capacity grid shows.
Fill in every field to see the result.
How to use it
Step 1
Enter the hours booked for one person on one day. One person, one day, because a band is a cell on a grid.
Step 2
Change the full-day figure if your contracted day is not eight hours. Every band edge scales with it.
Step 3
Read the band with the two numbers beside it: hours still spare, and hours booked past the day.
Step 4
Under runs from nothing to four hours. Partial runs from four up to just short of a full day. Full means the day is met exactly, and Over sits above it.
Questions people ask
Is exactly eight hours Over?
No, it is Full. Over starts above a full day. Treating a met day as over-allocation produces a warning on every properly booked person, which trains everybody to ignore the warnings.
Where does four hours land?
In Partial. Half a day is a real booking, so the Under band stops below it. Under is the band for a day with a gap worth filling.
Do these bands come from the product or from this page?
The labels come from the product. PeopleMuster's capacity grid marks each cell Under, Partial, Full or Over, and its bands follow the expected working day, eight hours by default. Change the full-day figure here and the edges move the same way.
