Does resource management round up to the nearest day?
If a task's duration is set as 1 hour, for example, but it is given an allocation %, does Resource Management treat that as allocation for a full day?

Hi @malden!
The % allocation in Resource Management is directly associated with both the task duration and the resource's availability.
For example:
- If I’m a resource with 2 hours available per day, and you assign me to a 1-hour task at 100%, I’ll be allocated at 50% capacity for that day.
- However, if I only have 1 hour available per day and am assigned a 1-hour task at 100%, I’ll be at 100% capacity (effectively a full day).
For more information on resource availability, check out this article: Manage resource availability
