Celoxis lets you specify who works on a task and for how long. You can assign multiple resources on the same task having equal or different allocations.

Allocation can be specified either in percentage or in hours.
Percentage indicates "% of the working hours" the resource should spend working on a task. The hours indicate the ‘total’ hours that the resource should spend on the task in the duration.

Percentage (%)

A resource 'Derek' works from Monday to Friday = 36 hours i.e 8 hours from Monday to Thursday & 4 hours on Friday as follows :

Days	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Work Calendar	8	8	8	8	4

Now, when you allocate him as 100% and 50% on a task (starts Monday and finishes on Friday), he will be allocated as follows. You will see this on the Resource Load Chart.

Allocation	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
100%	8	8	8	8	4
50%	4	4	4	4	2

Hours

If the same resource was allocated to a task for 9h for Monday to Friday, then the RLC for that week will look as follows :

Days	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Work Calendar	2	2	2	2	1

The allocation methods of a task should be same i.e you cannot assign resources on a task with one in % and one in hours.
