    It’s a complex issue.

    In MSP there are 3 types of task, fixed duration, fixed work and fixed units. they act differently when assign/change recource.

    for your question, use 50%, but maybe the duration will change based on task type.

    Goto online help for details for task type,then try it

    hi Zhang ,

    I think 16% is correct . My logic being a resource is available to us as per their base calanders , so it is with respect to that time available we should fill in the assignment units.

    Any different Views ?
