Allocation Workbench - Overbook Resource

[Jennifer Stuart]

Is there a way to allow ‘overallocation’ for a resource when confirmed in the Resource Finder of Allocation Workbench?

The allocation workbench is very helpful to resource managers to see a clear view of staff and current assigned projects with planned/confirmed/actual time.  However, when using the Resource Finder on bottom of screen and selecting resource member and hitting confirmed, it will show error that

.  It confirms only the hours that are available for the resource, leaving a gap between requested and confirmed.  The RM knows sometimes that the staff member actually can accommodate the requested hours and wants to over-allocate.  Is there any way to allow overallocation?  It is also very cumbersome to then correct the confirmation of hours.

Hi @Niels Aksel ,

I was on a business trip hence couldn't respond earlier.

Previous recording is no more available that is why I have created new recording (in Vancouver release) to showcase the steps.

@Namita Mishra , the video you link is for the resource allocation workbench, is there new instruction for doing this through the Resource Manager Workspace?
