Utilization, now shown per stylist

The Average Stylist Sales table now has a Utilization column, so you can see how booked each stylist is, not just the salon as a whole. We also tightened how the salon-wide number is calculated so it can't read higher than the stylists beneath it.

What Utilization measures​

Utilization is appointment hours ÷ scheduled hours — of the hours a stylist was scheduled to work, the share that was filled with booked appointments. It is not an attendance or clocked-hours measure; it answers "how full was the calendar we planned for this person."

What's new​

  • A per-stylist Utilization column. Each stylist in the Average Stylist Sales table now has a sortable Utilization figure, visible even at salons where the Salon Health utilization card is turned off. A stylist with no scheduled hours shows a dash rather than a number.

What we corrected​

  • The salon figure no longer overstates. The Salon Health utilization card used to add up appointment hours for every stylist but only counted scheduled hours where a schedule actually existed. A stylist who took appointments without a posted schedule inflated the top of the fraction and nothing at the bottom — pushing the salon number above every stylist in the table. Stylists with no posted schedule are now excluded from the salon figure entirely, on both sides of the math.
  • Future bookings can't dilute it. The scheduled-hours denominator knows about today's and future shifts, but appointment hours only exist for days that have finished processing. Left alone, an empty-but-scheduled today or a client booked weeks out would drag the number down every time the date rolled over. The calculation now stops at the last day with recorded activity, so the top and bottom of the fraction always cover the same range and the number stays stable through the day.

Getting in​

Open the Sales Dashboard, scroll to Average Stylist Sales, and sort by the Utilization column. No setup needed.
