Project Calendars

Modified on Mon, 25 Nov, 2024 at 4:12 PM

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.
