Define the project working time
Company calendar is the calendar used by most of the resources.
By setting it, you establish the default calendar for every new human resource.
Project calendar is the default calendar for project's activities
(for certain projects the activities working time might not match with resources' general calendar).
If the predefined calendars won't fit your needs, use the
New button to create a copy of the most appropriate calendar,
then change its name with a proper one and make the necessary adjustments.
Attention: Changing a calendar already used by company, another project,
or certain human resources will have repercutions in the corresponding projects! The best practice is to create new calendars when is needed.
Select working days of the week by marking them in corresponding checkboxes.
Select a day or multiple days and fill into the table on the right the necessary working intervals.
To define special days, click on
Set holidays, days off and other special days.
Select the date in the calendar and modify its program or mark it as
Nonworking day.
If you want to quickly get back to the normal program of a day (as you defined it before at
Set working days) select
Week defined program option.
Selecting
Custom program will associate a predefined program that can be changed from the
Settings menu,
Options,
Schedule tab.
Don't forget to set the customized calendar as Company calendar or Project calendar, as you intended!
Set the hours per day value used for the calculations as it must be in accordance with the selected working hours
in calendar, from
Settings menu,
Options,
Schedule tab.
