Resources less than calendar hours but still overallocated.

[Chris H]

Similar question already been posted but solution didn't work for me. I have
a resource (person) working to an 8 hour day calendar. I have one task set
over 2 weeks which they spend 30 minutes on each day. I have another task for
the same resource which is using an hour per day over 3 days in parallel with
the previous task. However, it's flagged up as overallocated at 1.5 hours. If
I drop the 2nd task to 30 mins then total is 1 hour and marked as
unallocated. Looking at the resource usage the person doesn't seem able to
work more than 1 hour per day even though they are set to an 8 hour calendar.

Display the times of the tasks. If the times the tasks are running each day
overlap the resource is overalloczted even if the total time is well under
his max.

Hello Chris,
I tried again and everything works well for me.
Could you send me an excerpt of your project with the 2 tasks ?
