Editor Capacity Planner

Some people's hours are tracked under one role (e.g. Feature Editor) but actually cover work for a different bucket on a specific brand (e.g. news editing on Hunker). Add an exception below to reallocate those hours when calculating balances. If the hours don't belong to any editing or writing bucket at all — e.g. board/admin time — set "Should Count Toward" to Not counted (admin/other) and those hours will simply be removed rather than shifted elsewhere. Exceptions apply every time you load a new export, as long as the person's name and brand match.

Any editor on this list will have their news and feature editor hours removed from all brand calculations. They will still appear in the debug modal with a strikethrough so you can see who was excluded.

Use this when someone's Features Rate is picking them up as a feature writer for a brand they don't actually write features for — e.g. a per-word news contributor on one brand whose rate is also tied to a "Writer For" or "Editor For" entry on another brand where they don't write features. This only removes them from that one brand's COUNTA; they'll still count normally for any other brand they're legitimately tied to.
