Allocation is the period during which a resource is staffed, or booked, to a project. Multiply the total number of working days between and including the project start and finish dates by the number of hours the resource is available to work each day. The result displays the allocation amount for each resource. All resources are automatically allocated at 100 percent of their available working days.
Allocation differs from ETC in that the ETC amount is based on the number of hours a resource is assigned to tasks. Staff members can be assigned to tasks for all the hours they are allocated to the project.
If it helps to create a more accurate schedule, allow project resources one or two hours each working day, or each week, for alternative work or non-project meetings.
Allocation information can be changed in the following ways:
