MS Project seems to take a task and calculate Per Day Workper day work by dividing Total Worktotal work by Durationduration. 

In the schedule I am working on, each resource is available for 10 hours per day, but projectMS Project doesn't take advantage of this. 

I would like to level my schedule based on the 10 available hours per day rather than simply spreading my tasks out beyond the predetermined Finishfinish date. I can do this manually by moving Workwork around in the Resource Usage tab, but I was wondering if there is a simpler way to do this. Thanks.

Hopefully a useful visual
