Calendars and Linked Schedule Sheets
When a schedule sheet is initially linked, any calendar associated with that schedule sheet is copied over with the sheet. However, when there are any subsequent updates to the linked sheet from a template, the calendar is not again updated on the sheet.
To update schedule sheet properties from project or shell templates
- Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
- For a project template, in the left Navigator, click Templates > Projects (Standard) > [project] > [project template] > Schedule Manager > Schedule Sheets.
- For a shell template, in the left Navigator, click Templates > Shells > [shelltype] > [shell template] > Schedule Manager > Schedule Sheets.
- From the Schedule Sheets log, select the schedule sheet to push.
Both the source and destination schedule sheets must have the same name.

- Properties > [project] or All Projects

An Options window opens.
