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 :

DaysMondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFriday
Work Calendar88884

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.

AllocationMondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFriday
100%88884
50%44442


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 :

DaysMondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFriday

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.
