Setting Up Work Calendars

Every Activity must be assigned a Calendar. The Calendar assigned will be used in the calculation of the Activity’s Current & Planned Start & Finish Dates by using the Calendar's defined Work Days and Work Hours. Every new Project will include a default “Standard 5-Day Work Week” Calendar. However, you can utilize the Calendars functionality to create and edit custom Calendars.
