Set the Default Calendar

There is one default calendar per workspace. The calendar set as the default calendar in the workspace-level Calendars dictionary is automatically assigned to new projects, resources, and roles when they are created. The calendars of existing projects, resources, or roles are not affected. Any calendar in the workspace can be assigned as the default calendar. One calendar must always be defined as the default.

The default calendar is automatically made available to projects, resources, and roles. This can only be changed if you set a different calendar as the default. The application has a built-in default calendar. The settings in this calendar cannot be changed. After another calendar has been assigned as the default, this calendar can be deleted.

You can also set the default calendar on the Project page in the workspace Defaults & Options. Choose from a list of calendars that are available to the Project object. This will also make the calendar available to resources and roles.

To set the default workspace calendar:

Navigate to the Calendars dictionary page
1. In the object selector, select a workspace.
2. In the sidebar, select  Summary & Settings.
3. On the Summary & Settings menu, select Dictionaries, and then select Calendars.
In the list of calendars, select the Default option for a calendar.
Save your changes:
1. Select Save.
2. In the Summary & Settings panel, select  Close.
