Accurate FTE allocation for a worker in two different resource pools

[CarolCaruso]

I have several workers that are in two different resource pools. How do I allocate their total weekly available time between the two different pools so they are not double-loaded with work? Example: Angie has a total of 22.4 available hours a week for project work.  She is in two different resource pools and both pools shows this 22.4 available hours.  I want to split that 22.4 available hours to show 11.2 hours for one and 11.2 hours for the other.

Hi Carol,

The hours are the hours so as you allocate in one team, it will reduce and if you go into the other team you should see the hours left (or not allocated).  You could change the filter to select both resource teams together and make your changes that way if it feels easier to see everything together.

Thank you for the response Kurt. Because the two resource pools are managed by two separate leads, and they work mostly in the workload balancer for their specific teams, they see the total hours as what they have to work with for her for each team, not as a total.  She potentially can get overloaded quickly. The good news is that I reduced her total hours to half so that is all that is being shown for each team then we created filters showing just the work for those specific teams. This seems to work where half her work capacity is for one team, the the other half of her work capacity is for the other team.
