Team: Services, Rates & Efficiency Rating

Summary

For a Team to be selected when you create appointments, the team must have a relevant service and rate assigned to its profile.

You can assign individual rates against services to identify the hourly rate for the Resource. If you only have one rate and have already assigned it to the team, you do not need to repeat it on the Resource. If the cost is different to the team then you will need to continue with this step. If you do not do so your jobs will not calculate your labour time. Service Rates for Jobs will use the Resource cost by default but if it's null it will then look at Team service rates.

Efficiency Ratings

Efficiency ratings can be stored against each team service. The efficiency rating is then used to adjust appointment durations. It does this by using the activity durations held against the appointment and adjusting them based on how efficient the resource is at the service.

This allows users to adjust the efficiency rating for a team if they are quicker/ slower at performing certain services. A negative efficiency figure will increase the appointment duration and a positive efficiency will decrease the duration.

The team efficiency will be used if the efficiency for the service held against the resource is set to “None”, otherwise the resource efficiency is used.

To enter an efficiency rating:

• Click on the pencil icon next to the service.
• Enter the % figure in the efficiency box.
• Click on the green tick icon to save.

Alternatively, you can click the A on the main screen.

To apply the same efficiency rating against all Services, enter the rating in the efficiency box at the bottom of the screen and select the Update All button
