Project Calendars

Each project has a calendar assigned to them which determines working and non-working days for the specific project.  The project calendar can be altered by the project manager. This can be done by opening Properties within the desired project.

• Navigate to Project | Properties

This opens the properties pane.  

• Scroll down to the “Calendar” option 
• Click into the drop-down

Note: When projects are created, they will be assigned the default calendar.  

Changing the calendar will reschedule the project.  

Choose a Calendar from the drop-down list.  

• Click SAVE

The following confirmation box will appear:

• Click CHANGE to confirm the switch.

Modify a Calendar

You can customise an existing calendar for a specific project by clicking the “Modify” link.

This opens the “Modify Calendar” pane:

• Click the date range at the top to open quick navigation.

Use the Arrows in the date range at the top of the calendar for quick navigation to previous/next year

 or 

Click into the date range window to select the date range you want to set.

You can now set the working days for the project:

This basically has an implication in terms of if you are trying to schedule people against work on a particular project.  It allows you to determine what days of the week you can actually schedule that work for.

• Click on the days that you want to set as non working days for the project. In the below example we have made the 17th monthly a none working day.

• Click SAVE

A success message will be displayed.

This will now push out any tasks on the project plan that are scheduled.

Your new Project Custom Calendar is available in the drop-down list of calendars.

You can build out custom calendars and then use the drop-down list to select which calendar you want to view/use.
