View team demand

The team Demand tab lists the positions that request resource assignment from your team and its subteams and resource allocation to each of the positions during a specific time period .

It includes a table:

The left part of the table displays the staffing profile, status, requested role, resource type, and team of each listed position.
The right part of the table displays the unmet demand of each listed position.
The position that already has resource assignment from your team and its subteams has a triangle before it. Expand the position to view details of each assignment: resource's name, role, team, resource type, and status.
The top part of the table displays the total unmet demand of all listed positions.

UI elements available in the Demand tab

UI Element	Description
	Time period of the demand displayed. For details, see Time period filter.
	Period type Specifies how time is divided. The default value is month. To change the period type: Click the slider and select the preferred period type: year, quarter, month, or week. Note: If set to week, when the start date of the first week or the end date of the last week falls out of the time period you specified, these two weeks in the Demand tab only display the position's unmet demand and resource's assignment that fall into the time period. For example, if you set the time period from December 2020 to March 2021, then the first week of this time period is from November 29 to December 5, and the last week is from March 28 to April 3. The first week only displays the position's unmet demand and resource's assignment of December 1 to 4 and the last week only displays the unmet demand and assignment of March 29 to 31.
