The Resource Allocation Report provides a seven-day interval view of a task assignments for selected group of people based on their defined skills or their location in the organizational hierarchy. This "Resource Histogram" report can be contrasted against unassigned work for particular types of resources. The report displays planned hours across multiple projects and tasks for a specified time frame.
Tasks will only be represented in this report if they are non-closed tasks on Active Projects. In the details area, they are grouped by Project State (Active, Due Diligence, and Planning) and by Project.
The report can be run from the Task edit page, as a what-if scenario using the pending un-saved information by clicking on any of the selected resource names. It will be automatically generated for the date range covered by the task, including all of the resources currently shown on the task.
Note: A similar report is available for all workers assigned to a project.

Unallocated is the Personal Hours Per Week minus the total number of hours allocated for that week, if positive.
