Ok I found work Availability. I had to right click and select Detail Styles that displays additional fields that can be added to the details pane. I can't set resource usage to 300% though because the 3 resources are not available 100% each day to work on the project, they have to split their day up working on multiple projects so unless they tell me what their actual availability is, I make a scheduling assumption and plan that they are only available at most to work a half a day each on my project so that is 50% x 3 = 150%
