Oracle Primavera Cloud Analysis Tab in the Resources App

Are you looking for a resource display in Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) that clearly indicates the under/overallocation of resources (and roles)?
You can find one via the Resources Analysis Tab. The graph can be displayed on the bottom or the side of the table for selected resources.

The example below reflects just the one resource: pipefitter.

You can also display the resource graph on the side.

You can select multiples resources (filter as required), or clear filter sections to display all resources.

The under/over calculation displays clearly where there are differences between allocation and availability.

Or if you prefer, you can display the analysis with no graph, either filtered to specific resources, or not filtered at all.

Resource Analysis With No Graph, Filtered

Resource Analysis With No Graph, Unfiltered

Under/overallocation is calculated from each time period availability and time period allocation. (If the resource allocation matches the availability, the value will display as blank.)

In the Analysis window, you have access to the activities that the resource is assigned to. Click the icon to display the activities information.

Activities Information in the Analysis Window

The Analysis View within the Resources app in Oracle Primavera Cloud provides the tools to monitor and analyze resource/role allocation and utilization across projects, programs, and workspaces. Keep in mind that resource information and additional functionality to assist with resourcing is available in other locations in OPC.
