Total Allocation distribution wrong using Duration

Products

• Clarity PPM SaaS
• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

1. The Allocation is not distributed evenly among the selected periods when the view options are changed from Periods to Duration.

   Steps to Reproduce:

   • Login to MUX
   • Configure the Unit of Measure as Hours from settings in the MUX
   • Navigate to any project in MUX and access the Staff tab
   • Configure the View Options as shown below Periods: Weeks, Type: Periods, Start Period: Apr 08 2024, End Period: Apr 22 2024, Totals: Sum of Periods

    

   • Update the Totals Allocation as 90
   • Observe that 90 is distributed evenly among the 3 periods with 30 hours each
   • Now configure the View options again as shown below. Change the Type as Duration, Start period as Apr 01 2024, Number of periods as 5

    

   • The number of per-periods metrics available in the view are 5 periods now starting from Apr 01 2024 to Apr 29 2024
   • Update the Total Allocation to 60

   
   Expected Results:
   The allocation hours 60 should be distributed from the complete duration i.e. for 5 periods in the view from Apr 01 2024 to Apr 29 2024

   Actual Results:
   The allocation hours 60 gets distributed among the periods selected in the previous view i.e. for 3 periods from Apr 08 2024, End Period: Apr 22 2024

   Configure the column Per-Period Metrics - Allocation from columns fly out
