Tips
- You cannot delete the global default calendar.
- If you delete a calendar that is currently set as the project default calendar, or as the default calendar for a resource, or as the assigned calendar for an activity, you will be prompted to choose a replacement calendar for those assignments. Replacing the calendar for projects, resources, or activity assignments can cause the dates of those assignments to change.
- You need the Add/Edit/Delete Global Calendars or Add/Edit/Delete Resource Calendars security privileges to delete a calendar.
- When you are analyzing enterprise data usage, the Summary, Calendar, Standard Work Week, and Used By tabs are hidden. To bring the tabs back into view and hide the columns specific to analyzing enterprise data, select Refresh.
Getting Here
