Description - wouldn't it be great to have workfront actively inform you if a resource is over allocated at the task level? 

Why is this feature important to you - resource leveling works great, but is on a seprate screen, and when using shared resources the resource's hours changes as other PM's book projects. it would be great to see at the task level that a resource assigned to that task is over allocated so you can adjust on the fly. 

How would you like the feature to work - at the task level, pull in the current user(s) hours for the duration of the task's assigned to them with the same behavior as resource manager, highlighting that a user is over or under allocated. 

Current Behavior - Currently there is no way to know a user is over allocated unless you actively check the resource manager. if a task is late there is no telling how that task pushed is going to effect the resources timeline without actively going to another window to check.
