How to Understand Numbers for Positions and Resources in Staffing Profile

For each position, staffing profile New UI displays the requested effort and unmet demand in the format of <Requested Effort> | <Unmet Demand>.
- If the unmet demand is in orange, it means the position has demand unfulfilled.
- If the unmet demand is in red, it means the position has more effort allocated to it than it requests. It is over-allocated.
For each resource assigned to a position, staffing profile New UI displays the allocated effort and remaining effort in the format of <Assigned Effort> | <Remaining Capacity>.
- If the remaining capacity is in orange, it means the resource has capacity left.
- If the remaining capacity is in red, it means the resource is assigned more effort than his/her capacity.
