Certinia Exam PSA-Sysadmin Topic 1 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for Certinia's PSA-Sysadmin exam
Question #: 45
Topic #: 1
[All PSA-Sysadmin Questions]

Your current setup of utilization automatically subtracts PSA Holidays from the total number of hours defined in a resource's "Work Calendar." How can utilization be configured so Holidays are not automatically subtracted?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Understanding Utilization Calculation and Holidays

The Utilization Calculation process considers various factors, including work calendars and holidays.

The default behavior is to subtract holidays from the total work hours when computing utilization. This is controlled by the Configuration Option: 'subtract-holidays-from-total-hours = true'.

If the company does not want PSA to subtract holidays automatically, this setting must be changed to false.

How to Change This Setting

Step 1: Open the App Launcher in Salesforce.

Step 2: Navigate to Configuration Groups.

Step 3: Select 'Utilization' from the list of configuration groups.

Step 4: Locate the option 'subtract holidays from total hours'.

Step 5: Set this value to false and save changes.

Why This Works?

By setting 'subtract holidays from total hours' to false, PSA will stop deducting holidays from the available hours in the resource's utilization calculation.

This is useful for companies that manage leave differently, such as through a global PTO project instead of deducting from standard hours.

I'm glad we're not being asked to solve a 'PSA' (Personal Situational Awareness) holiday problem. That would be a whole other level of complexity!

B sounds good, but I hope 'Ag Launcher' is just a typo and not some secret developer mode!

C looks like the right choice to me. Modifying the Utilization Calculation directly should do the trick.
