Assign a Calendar to an Activity

The activity calendar controls the available workdays and daily work hours for an individual activity. New activities are assigned the default project calendar, but an activity's calendar can be changed to suit the needs of the activity.

If an activity's type is Resource Dependent, the activity's dates are calculated using the calendars associated with each resource or role assignment. Role assignments staffed with a resource use the resource's calendar. If the activity is any other activity type, or if there are no resource or role assignments on the activity, its dates are calculated using its assigned calendar.

To assign a calendar to an activity:

  1. Navigate to the Activities page
  2. In the table, select the activity.
  3. On the Layout menu, select Activity Details, and then select the General detail window.
  4. In the Calendar field, select a calendar to designate as the activity calendar.
  5. In the Select Calendar dialog box, in the Filter By list, select Project to view calendars available at the project level, or Workspace to view calendars available at the workspace level.
  6. Select a calendar, and then select Select.
  7. All changes made to this page are saved automatically.
