When I hover over an allocation, the amount of hours is different than in the allocation bar. Is this normal?

Question

When I hover the mouse over an allocation, a bubble pops up with more details in it. For some reason, the amount of hours in those two views do not correspond. Why is that?

Answer

This is due to time off.

When an allocation overlaps some time off, the allocation bar will show the total hours as adjusted to account for the time off registered within the allocation timeframe. However, when hovering over the allocation bar, the tooltip will show the total hours of the original allocation. This way, you can easily compare the original allocated values and the updated allocation, spot the differences, and make adjustments or create additional allocations if needed.
