Backlog Age Template

The following table describes the buttons and fields used to create a Backlog Age Template:

Element

Description

Name

Enter the Name to be used for the new template.

Backlog Bucket Unit

Select either Days or Weeks from the drop-down list

Auto Populate Proportion

Select option to auto populate the proportions of the Backlog Bucket(s). If "Auto populate from WIT" is selected, it sets up the option to have the backlog populated from WIT. If the "disabled" option is selected, the proportion will be manually provided in the Backlog Bucket Name section.

Backlog Bucket Name

Provide the name of the selected Bucket

Interval Start

Provide a number to start the interval (either days or weeks based on the Backlog Bucket Unit). This number should be relative to the start of the scheduling period, and the interval will move backwards from the start day or week. For example, if the bucket unit is days, the first bucket Interval Start can have a value of "1" to indicate the first interval. However, there are other cases, where the first interval can start on a different day.

Interval End

Enter the unit number where the interval should end.

For example, if the bucket unit is days and should represent a week, the first bucket Interval End should have a value of "7" to represent the last day.

If the backlog bucket should contain aged items from a certain day and up (for example, a particular bucket should contain items greater than 28 days), then leave this field blank.

Proportion

Enter the proportion number to be assigned to each bucket name. The total proportion for all of the bucket names should equal 100 percent.
