We recommend that you enforce setting project allocations company wide and be sure to properly zero out any remaining/unused allocations. If you are truly using this allocation data it should also be in the same range as Baseline and Availability Time Slice definitions. This will minimize the amount of data that is being stored for Allocation slices and also populate in the Datamart tables. We recommend that if you do not set project level allocation you should set the Number of Periods to four (4) for Allocation slice request. This is by far the largest portion of slice data, and if it is not entirely valid it can be dramatically reduced. If you are not maintaining allocation at the Project level company wide, you may have no need to maintain slice data for allocation. Note: When a Resource has a Hire Date and/or Termination Date, the Availability slices are bound for the resource within this date range. Number of periods = 740 days Availability (2-year range) Number of periods = 740 days Baseline (2-year range) Number of periods = 400 days Actuals (2-year range)įrom Date = Start of the current month, going back 1 year Estimates (1 year range)įrom Date = Start of the current month (There is no need to slice estimates far in the past) Make sure there are not any daily slice definitions that cover a range of over 2 years, especially the team slices.

Note: If you need past historical data to be sliced for dates further back than what is recommended above, it is recommended to consult our CA Services team for advice on alternative configurations OR use monthly time slices. The idea is to limit the number of DAILY slice records.This will create fewer records for reporting historical data within the recommended configurations. Configure the following DAILY time slice IDs:

Make sure the environment performs optimally by ensuring the time slice definitions are set as follows: 1. Based on the amount of data and the reporting needs of each implementation, the time slices need to be configured properly.
