This is the time allocated to each staff member for a task. Allocated hours are not synced to WFM. Allocated hours are displayed on the Schedule page and in 'Assign mode.' In the 'Jobs' page, it is displayed as 'Effort' for each task. Each task allocation on the Schedule page will have its own corresponding line in the 'Jobs' page.
Logged Hours
This is the time logged against a task. Staff can log hours within PlanRight or WFM. Logged time is displayed in the Timesheets page and is synced both to & from WFM. Logged hours are displayed on the Schedule page (when hovering over a task), in the 'Update task' modal, and in 'Assign mode.'
