A staff's allocation is the period during which a resource is booked to a project. Unless you change the booking dates, staff members are booked for the entire duration of the project. An allocation amount is generated for each resource by multiplying the total number of working days between the start and finish dates of the project (including the start and finish dates) with the number of hours the resource is available to work each day. Allocation differs from ETC in that the ETC number is based on the number of hours a resource is assigned to actual tasks. Staff members may or may not be assigned to tasks for all of the hours they are allocated to the project.
