P6 Professional calculates and stores time unit values in hourly increments, but users can set preferences to display time units in other increments, such as days or weeks. The values specified for Hours per Time Period are used to convert hours to other time increments for display, and to convert all non-hourly time increments to hours for storage in the database. As an administrator, you can globally specify the conversion factors, or you can enable the Hours per Time Period settings defined for each calendar to control how units and durations are converted and stored.
- Choose Admin, Admin Preferences.
- Click the Time Periods tab.
- If you want to globally specify conversion factors, in the Hours per Time Period section, type the default number of work hours you want to use for each time period.
If you want to use the Hours per Time Period settings defined in each calendar as conversion factors, mark the "Use assigned calendar to specify the number of work hours for each time period" checkbox.
