Define project's working time
Company calendar is the calendar used by most of resources.
By setting it you will establish the calendar that will be used by all human resources which don't have a particular calendar assigned.
Project calendar is working calendar that is being used by default by all the activities from a project.
For some projects the working time of activities might not match with the general working time of resources and this is why it might be needed to have both a
Company calendar and
Project 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 the company, another project, certain tasks or human resources will have repercussions over the corresponding elements!
If that is the case, you might want to create new calendars.
Select working days of the week by marking them in corresponding check-boxes.
Select a day (or multiple days) from the week table and fill in the working intervals in the table on the right.
Don't forget to set the customised calendar as
Company calendar or
Project calendar as you need!
To define special days, click on
Set holidays, days off and other special days,
then select the dates in the calendar and change their working program or mark them as
Non-working day.
If you want to quickly get back to the weekly working program of a day (as you defined it before at
Set working days) select
Weekly program option.
Selecting
Custom program will associate a predefined program that can be changed using the
Settings,
Options menu, and then the
Schedule tab.
From
Settings,
Options menu and then the
Schedule tab adjust the "hours per day" value used for calculations as it must be in accordance with the selected working hours
from the calendar.
