% Allocation

% Allocation field

The percentage of the resource or role's Maximum Units/Time that is allocated to the selected project level assignment.

When you change the % Allocation field, P6 assigns the specified percentage of the resource or role's maximum units per time to the selected project. This does not consider their existing allocations and can therefore cause them to become overallocated. Changing the resource or role's allocation recalculates the total units for the assignment and the corresponding spread of allocated units in the spreadsheet.
