A resource's availability is the amount of time a resource is available and can be allocated to a project. You can allocate resources to subprojects based on the resource's default availability. If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, you define a resource's default availability in CA Clarity PPM. The amount you set as the resource's default allocation to the project in CA Clarity PPM translates as the resource's default availability on the project in Open Workbench.
A resource's default availability on a master project is capped at the highest default availability that is defined on the master's subprojects. When you autoschedule the master project, the resource is not scheduled on the master project over what they can work in a day. For example, if you allocate a resource that has a default availability of 8 hours at 100 percent to three subprojects, when you autoschedule the master project, the resource is allocated between the three subprojects for no more than 8 hours per day.
On the master project, a role's default availability is the sum of the role's default allocation on the master's subprojects. You define a role's default availability at the subproject level. For example, if you allocate a role that has a default availability of 8 hours at 100 percent to three subprojects, when you autoschedule the master project, the role is scheduled on the subprojects for 24 hours per day.
