Set Team and User Capacities

EMDESK enables you to manage your team's weekly capacity, taking into account off-times such as annual leave, parental leave, sick leave, other types of leave, and public holidays.

A weekly capacity reflects the regular hours per weekday that a team member is expected to work.

To start managing capacities, navigate to the Time tab in your workspace. This section provides a visual overview of each team member’s capacity and tracked time, helping you monitor and adjust as needed.

Set Default Team Capacity

To set a default capacity for all users, which acts as a baseline unless individual adjustments are made, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the 'Settings' menu, then select 'Customization'.
  2. Scroll down to the section labeled "Default Team Capacity".
  3. Hover over the current weekly capacity shown for the team and click on the pencil icon to make changes.
  4. In the popup dialog, enter the hours per weekday your team works. Enter ‘0’ for days the team does not work, such as Saturday or Sunday.
  5. Click the 'Save' button to update the team’s default capacity settings.
