Bookings and Effort Shown Separately on Resources View

Currently, BOOKINGS and EFFORT are not separate in the resources view, they add up and give you a false sense of workload. Which makes it so users have to use either one system or the other. It would be nice to be able to use both systems at once for their strengths... BOOKINGS as a big picture are we on budget/allocation tool. And EFFORT for a more granular approach.

Has this been resolved? I agree with the need for this. Bookings are great for holding time before a detailed plan is made with actual allocations.

Hi @Yetunde Zannou, thanks for checking in here.

There's been no progress on this one and we're yet to add a status. The votes for this suggestion are on the lower side, so this hasn't been prioritized by the team. We do however appreciate the feedback and have noted your interest in this.

Please be sure to upvote the suggestion if you have not already 👍

@Elaine McDonagh are there any planned improvements on Bookings? it is not very user friendly at the moment. If you want to change a date in the future, say 2 years ahead, you need to click through all the months.

Also the suggested improvement here I would take into account.

Thank you for reaching out here @Nils Troll, and hope you don't mind me jumping in for Elaine here!

As Elaine mentioned above, we don't have an update at the moment, but I'm happy to pass your feedback to our Product team 👍

Hey team. I'll third this motion in a big way. Having a way to do top down estimates for project resourcing is a must for our fiscal year planning. I'd like to use Wrike for portfolio management, not just project/task management and we're at a disadvantage without this feature.

Also, the ability to estimate booked effort by % of resource time would be way easier than trying to estimate hours.

bump...really need this feature!

On the 28th effort hours sum up to 5.78 hours but workload adds in the booking hours and totals at 10.44 which causes a false positive and wastes time and makes the chart not valuable.
