> See funding utilisation for every Participant assigned to a site on one screen.

Scheduling add-on - This feature requires the Scheduling add-on, which is available on Astalty Premium. See How to enable Scheduling.

## Overview

The **Utilisation** tab compares active Plan Services for Participants assigned to a Site. It is available for either Site type when your role can view Site Utilisation and you have access to that Site.

## Viewing Utilisation for a Site

Open a Site and select **Utilisation**. Choose a **Service Category**. The table shows an active Plan Service row for each assigned Participant with funding in that category. If no matching active Plan Service exists, there is no row for that Participant and category.

### The Utilisation Table

Each row shows:

- **Participant** and **Service**
- **Released**, the funding available so far on the active Plan Service
- **Claimed**, the released funding used to date, including relevant billable charge and reconciliation calculations
- **Remaining**, the released funding still available to date
- **% Used**, calculated as Claimed divided by Released, rounded to a whole percentage
- **Status**, which compares use against the expected pace through the current released funding period

For a Service with funding periods, Released includes the periods that have started. Future releases are excluded. Remaining is Released minus Claimed, and **% Used** shows 0% when Released is zero.

### Understanding the Status

- **Overspending** means use is ahead of the expected pace.
- **Underspending** means use is behind the expected pace.

The comparison uses the elapsed portion of the applicable funding period. It is not based only on the raw **% Used** value.

## Filtering by Support Category

Use **Service Category** to select the category being reported. The tab initially selects **01 - Assistance with Daily Life (Includes SIL)** and remembers the most recently selected category for each Site in that browser.

Use **Search Participants** to narrow the displayed rows.

## Expanding a Row

Expand a row to inspect the funding period or schedule breakdown used for that Plan Service's totals.
