Click the Update button to save this allocation.

We now have a Resources column on the sheet containing the abbreviation of the resource allocated to the task and the number of hours.

To allocate the percentage of the junior geophysicist, we select the task again using MB3 and the 'Allocate resource' option again.

We change the resource name to 'Junior Geophysicist' and set the amount to 100 (because the type of allocation is percentage) and again select the 'Show allocation' option.
